Breast Imaging: The Cutting Edge

Objectifs généraux

At the end of this seminar, participants will not only expand their clinical MR knowledge, but will also learn, by interacting with the experts, ways to improve their diagnostic MR accuracy. They will also learn to use MR as an efficient diagnostic and complementary tool to Mammography and Ultrasonography, in order to achieve a more accurate diagnostic of pathology.

• Recognize the essential role of Breast Ultrasound and MR for differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions
• Access ways to improve diagnostic accuracy in order to minimize false negative and false positive rates in MR, Mammo, US
• Correlate Mammography, Breast Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance, Digital mammography and pathology: diagnostic and interventional techniques, imaging of in situ vs invasive carcinoma, Imaging of lobular carcinoma
• Identify and access the role of screening breast ultrasound, screening mammography, magnetic resonance and digital mammography in high-risk patients
• Define and apply the role of tomosynthesis in the work up of patients with dense breasts
• Define and apply the role of contrast enhanced mammography of patients with dense breasts
• Evaluate the importance of dense breasts parenchyma, define its limitations and determine means of improving or detection rate in these patients
