28th Annual Mammography in Santa Fe is organized by International Institute for Continuing Medical Education, Inc. (IICME) and will be held from Aug 05 - 09, 2024 at La Fonda on the Plaza, Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States of America.

Topic: Breast Cancer, Breast Imaging, Breast MRI, Breast Tomosynthesis, Breast Ultrasound, Mammography

Description:
This course is designed for radiologists who find themselves challenged by the new practical issues of performing successful high-quality breast imaging in a changing medical environment. This year, we have redesigned the course to better meet every radiologist’s ongoing breast imaging needs:
In addition to 21 hours of didactic CME lectures by a world-class faculty, the conference offers a unique array of hands-on interactive workshops at the workstation.

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.
• Appreciate new concepts in breast histopathology and resulting suggested new terminology for in situ and invasive 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.
