- 16.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and SA-CME
- Video Online / On Demand
- Certificate Included
Experts balance case and didactic presentations and share practical workflows and images at the workstation.
Presentations integrate multimodality practice of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, Ultrasound, and MRI, with practical details for improving biopsies and patient interactions: help with challenges you face every day with the team you lead. A true luminary in Artificial Intelligence sifts practical reality from hype. Emergent responsibilities of physicians for facility performance warrant a special segment.
This activity also satisfies the requirement of at least 8 hours (Category 1 credit hours) of Full Field Digital Mammography.
Modality focus/multimodality coverage:
- Tomosynthesis > 8 hr
- MRI > 8 hr
- US > 8 hr
- Digital Mammo > 8 hr
This is the second program in the Hot Topic series. Those new to the series may choose to start with Hot Topics Part I.

Breast MRI in Benign Breast Disease
- 1.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
- Steven Harms, MD
Dr. Steven Harms, a pioneer of MRI of the breast, helps us diagnose benign breast disease to minimize false positives. Share his sessions at his workstation and workflows as he navigates efficient workflows, and narrates his thought processes, while clearly teaching the technical rationale for image processing approaches.
Breast Cancer in Young Women (Under the Age of Forty)
- 1.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
- Haydee Ojeda-Fournier, MD
While breast cancer in women over 40 years old is now most often detected by mammography screening, clinical symptoms still lead to diagnoses in younger women. The breast care team can improve early diagnosis in these women by recognizing high-risk patients. Dr. Ojeda gives a concise, thorough review of breast cancer in young women with the goal of saving more lives.

DCIS: How MRI Helps
- 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
- Steven Harms, MD
DCIS remains a management problem in breast disease. Although management recommendations have not stabilized, MRI can now improve diagnosis and predictive value. Dr. Harms, a pioneer in the development of MRI of the Breast, offers seasoned judgment of the spotty initial MRI data on DCIS. He then reviews specific current improvements in technology to improve the sensitivity with improved resolution and interpretive criteria, with illustrative examples showing recent technical contributions to diagnosis, with insight into the wide spectrum and emerging information on the predictive value of the diagnosis.
