SUMMARY:Intensive Breast Ultrasound 2015:  A Histopathologically  Base
 d Approach to Diagnostic and Screening Breast Ultrasound
DESCRIPTION:Register and view full Program details HERE\nDr. Thomas St
 avros, author of Breast Ultrasound, Dr. Kevin Kelly, along with suppor
 ting faculty present standard and emerging breast imaging techniques f
 or both early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.  The emphasis
  will be on the macroscopic histology and pathology, correlated with t
 he sonographic appearance of benign and malignant abnormalities (contr
 asted with pattern recognition techniques).  Sessions will be augment
 ed by a three-stage learning process of (1) conventional didactic foma
 t (with PowerPoint slides and illustrative images); (2) simulated real
 -time scanning review (checkpoints) of selected sessions with high-res
 olution cine presentations on computer workstations (one for every two
  attendees); (3) review automated whole breast ultrasound and automate
 d 3-D ultrasound cases on workstations; (4) hands-on, faculty-mentored
  workshops.  Supplementary screening materials and other new developm
 ents in breast ultrasound are also presented.  This course is recomme
 nded for Radiologists, Surgeons, Sonographers and Mammography Technolo
 gists with better-than-average skill in breast ultrasound, and an inte
 rest in improving those skills in screening for, and diagnosing breast
  cancer.\n\nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this conference, the
  participant will be able to:\n\nAppreciate the emerging ultrasound te
 chnologies and their important role in breast cancer detection and dia
 gnosis\nUnderstand the pathological basis for various sonographic find
 ings seen in daily practice, and recognize and characterize areas of i
 nterest\nRecognize and distinguish findings as pathologic or not, and 
 predict whether identified lesions are benign or malignant\nDemonstrat
 e skill in ultrasound detection of abnormalities during real-time scan
 ning\nPerform diagnostic evaluations using a wide range of ultrasound 
 techniques\nUnderstand the developing role of ultrasound in screening 
 for breast cancer, especially in patients with dense breast tissue\nDe
 monstrate greater competence in ultrasound-guided breast biopsy\n\nThi
 s activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Ess
 ential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing 
 Medical Education through the joint sponsorship of World Class CME and
  BUE LLC. World Class CME is accredited by the ACCME to provide contin
 uing medical education for physicians.World Class CME designates this 
 live activity for a maximum of 26 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physi
