Practical Breast MRI: Case-Based Review (Jointly Sponsored by ARRS)

SBI Practical Breast MRI: Case-Based Review Course

PRACTICAL BREAST MRI:CASE-BASED REVIEW

Breast MRI is fast becoming an essential
tool in breast imaging. In spite of
the rapid growth of MR imaging, many
breast imaging radiologists still have
limited practical experience with this
technique. This course is intended to
help radiologists move beyond the
basics and apply classroom knowledge
in the clinical setting.
This case-based review course will
expose the attendee to multiple challenging
breast MRI cases, fully supervised
by experienced, expert breast MR
faculty. Using an electronic audienceresponse
system (ARS), all attendees
will get immediate feedback regarding
their own performance as well as the
ability to measure their responses
against those of their peers. The casebased
presentations will be augmented
by pertinent educational material, presented
in traditional lecture format
throughout the 1.5 day course. On
completion of the course, attendees

who have participated in all case-based
sessions will have documented supervised
instruction in at least 100 breast
MRI cases.

OBJECTIVES

At the end of this activity, the participants
will be able to:

} Identify image interpretation by direct
participation in case-based instruction
} Assess and provide feedback on at
least 100 cases reviewed with MRI
faculty
} Describe the current clinical roles of
breast MRI
} Identify the image patterns of benign
and malignant disease
} Review methods for optimizing MRI
guided biopsy
} Evaluate correlation between imaging
and pathologic findings
