During this course we will discuss challenging cases involving the most commonly used modalities in breast imaging including Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), Ultrasound (US), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM). We will address how we correlate the images among these modalities to better characterize breast lesions and to be able to choose the best possible modalities to perform percutaneous biopsies when necessary- taking into consideration that MRI guided and Contrast Enhanced Mammography biopsy availability may be limited in many practices. We will stress the importance of accurate lesion correlation in this setting. This session aims to provide participants with valuable knowledge and skills to deal with these scenarios effectively in various breast imaging practices.
This course contains interactive questions throughout the video. These questions are optional and do not require a passing score to earn CME credit. To earn CME credit, participants must watch the full length of the recording and complete the course evaluation.
