Registration for this course is now closed—but there's still time for registrants to continue learning. Registrants can access a live recording of Emerging Advances in Breast Imaging in the Online Learning Center through December 31, 2021. Registrants must log in to view the recording.

On-demand access 


Discover cutting-edge breast imaging technologies and learn how to implement them at your practice during Emerging Advances in Breast Imaging. Led by some of the leading experts in the field, sessions cover topics such as how to reduce false positives in screening ultrasounds, the new role of a breast radiologist, advanced breast imaging applications and new response monitoring and interventional techniques.

Learning objectives

The following information will be reviewed and discussed throughout this course:

 

  • The multimodality imaging and interventional approaches to the diagnosis and management of benign and malignant breast conditions will be discussed.
  • Clinical implementation and review of the data for digital breast tomosynthesis and screening ultrasound will be described.
  • Updates on emerging technology including abbreviated breast MRI, contrast-enhanced mammography and artificial intelligence will be presented.
  • Minimally invasive techniques and therapy of the breast and axilla will be reviewed.
