Accreditation:
Designation:
The International Institute for Continuing Medical Education, Inc., designates this live activity for a maximum of Didactic Lecture Course only 25.5 and up to 38.5 for entire 5 day course. AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Modality Breakdown:
This Program Provides the Following Cme Credit Hours by Modality:
• Digital Mammography (Didactic Sessions):  7.75 Hours
• Breast Ultrasound (Didactic Sessions & Interventional Workshop):  4.0 Hours
• Breast Mri (Didactic Sessions):  6.0 Hours
• Digital Mammography: Workshop at the Workstation:  Up to 10.0 Hours
• Breast Mri: Workshop at the Workstation:  Up to 10.0 Hours
• Tomosynthesis Interactive Course (Didactic & Workshops): 8.0 Hours
• Whole Breast Ultrasound (Special Training Sessions): 4.0 Hours
• Also – 5 SAMS

Description:
This training will include interpretation of 200 tomosynthesis cases on your own at the workstation, and additional lecture material on tomosynthesis throughout the conference, for a total of 8 hours.  You will be expected to record the number of tomosynthesis cases you interpret, and the amount of time spent interpreting these cases, as that time will count toward the 8 hour initial total that is required by the FDA.

Educational Objectives:
By the end of this course, registrants will be able to:
• Apply new and improved skills in perception to the interpretation of screening mammograms.
• Develop strategies to counter the attacks on the performance of regular screening mammography in women beginning at age 40, especially those at high risk for breast cancer.
• Perform a more comprehensive evaluation of screening-detected abnormalities, including appropriate use of special mammographic views, ultrasound, MR, and other modalities.
• Appraise the current status of interventional breast procedures, especially core biopsy.
• Perform the techniques of stereotactic, ultrasound, and MR-guided core needle biopsy of the breast.
• Delineate the expanding role of Breast MR in everyday practice of breast imaging, including its role in screening high-risk patients, and the new role of abbreviated breast MR.
• Perform interpretation of up to 300 digital mammograms at the workstation, documented toward accreditation or re-accreditation in mammography under MQSA
• Perform interpretation of up to 200 Breast MR examinations, documented toward ACR Breast MR accreditation.
• Acquire up to 8 hours of Tomosynthesis interactive instruction, documented toward fulfilling the 8 hours required by FDA for one to perform and interpret Tomosynthesis.
• Appreciate the role of Whole Breast Ultrasound and Contrast Enhanced Mammography in breast cancer screening.
• Understand the ever-increasing role of artificial intelligence in breast imaging.
• Discern the burgeoning role of breast ultrasound as a screening and diagnostic tool.
