This breast imaging course is designed for both the clinical radiologist who specializes in breast imaging and the radiologist who has general diagnostic clinical duties. A practical approach will be emphasized, providing an overview and update on clinically relevant topics in breast imaging. The course will highlight recent developments, with a strong focus on the use of multimodality imaging and intervention (mammography, ultrasound and MRI), as well as the growing use of tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography. Course content will include didactic lectures, challenging cases sessions, and end-of-morning faculty panels for questions and discussion. Faculty will also highlight changes to the BI-RADS system, relevant to the recent release of the 6th Edition updates.

There will be three informal “Brainstorming at Breakfast” sessions, during which one of the speakers will moderate attendee discussion regarding workplace practices. Registrants will also have the opportunity for an optional workstation preview of Dr. Sickles’ 20 Challenging Cases from Sunday through Wednesday; so they may compare their preliminary findings when Dr. Sickles reviews the cases during the Thursday sessions.

Objectives

The purpose of this course is to increase competence and improve clinician practice in radiology. We specifically anticipate improvements in skills and strategies to:

• Apply and utilize BI-RADS categories as appropriate, and be aware of changes and updates in the upcoming 6th edition
• Develop a skillful and practical approach to performing and interpreting mammography and breast US
• Understand and implement the growing use of MRI in the clinical setting
• Understand and adopt the current use of tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography in breast imaging.

Target Audience

Best for radiologists and breast imaging specialists who want updates on BI-RADS 6th Edition, AI integration, and advanced MRI techniques.
