Session 1 will take the attendee through the histopathologic basis for benign and malignant breast disease with imaging correlates. Conventional topics with simplified and novel strategies are presented to both review and advance the practice of mammography and ultrasound. Session 2 focuses on imaging diagnoses for which surveillance may be reasonable and will emphasize techniques and analytic parameters regarding intervention and tissue diagnosis. Session 3 will address the critical issues of breast density risk assessment as well as perspectives on supplementary screening such as whole breast ultrasound and tomosynthesis. Session 4 explores in depth both current and evolving concepts and strategies in MRI interpretation with review of literature and case based presentation. Session 5 explores the issues of medical legal accountability in interpretation and communication as well as providing strategies to avoid liability. By the end of this course, participants should be able to: Analyze the histopathologic basis for benign and malignant breast lesions Analyze more robust and simplified methods of evaluating asymmetries commonly seen at screening and diagnostic settings Assess criteria for imaging diagnoses of benign, probably benign, and suspicious imaging findings on mammography, ultrasound, MRI Assess Criteria For Imaging Diagnoses And Need For Tissue Diagnosis Of Identified Breast Lesions Determine suitability for nonpalpable lesions subject to imaging surveillance as opposed to biopsy Analyze applications, techniques, and pitfalls of stereotactic, ultrasound, and MRI-guided biopsy Evaluate the basis and evidence for recommending surgical excision of “high risk” lesions determined by percutaneous biopsy Analyze current issues involved in breast density evaluation including risk and supplementary screening indications Evaluate efficacy of supplementary screening and advanced screening techniques including whole breast ultrasound, tomosynthesis, MRI, and nuclear medicine imaging of the breast Evaluate evidence-based approaches to MRI lesion evaluation, and determine efficacy of different indications for use of breast MRI Determine medical-legal implications of different approaches to clinical breast imaging and communications and develop strategies toward risk reduction   Visit the CME Course Webpage ›     Instructors: R. James Brenner, MD, JD, FACR, FCLM Clinical Professor of Radiology, University of California, San Diego Dr. Brenner is an internationally recognized authority on all aspects of breast imaging, having lectured extensively around the world. A past President of the Society of Breast Imaging, he is the author of more than 200 published articles and texts, and a consultant to industry and government on emerging technologies. Dr. Brenner brings his 36 years of both academic and private practice experience to a unique conference that integrates all subjects into one cohesive presentation. The discussions avoid the duplications and gaps that result in conferences with multiple speakers. State of the art literature reviews supplement case driven teaching in a format that is as intense as it is entertaining and enlightening.     CME Credit: Physicians:  18 Hours Physician Assistants:  18 Hours Radiologic Technologists:  16.5 Hours Self Assessment Module (SAM):  Yes Specialty Audience: Quality Assurance    Radiation Therapy    Radiology    Surgery     RADLIST Course #16144 Map of Wynn Las Vegas, 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada (NV), United States     Show Nearby:  Make a selection ----- Restaurant Lodging Shopping Mall Spa Convenience Store Park Museum Airport ----- Amusement Park ATM Aquarium Art Gallery Bakery Bank Bar Bicycle Store Book Store Bus Station Campground Car Rental Car Repair Church Clothing Store Dentist Department Store Doctor Fire Station Food Takeout Gas Station Grocery Store Hair Care Hospital Laundry Liquor Store Movie Theater Parking Pet Store Pharmacy Police Post Office Shoe Store Subway Station Train Station Veterinary Care Zoo    Rank By:  Distance Prominence     Show More Results
