Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants will be better able to:

Utilize appropriate imaging techniques and modalities to ensure the optimal images are obtained to detect breast cancer
Differentiate between the criteria for good and poor breast positioning in mammography
Implement best practices for optimal breast positioning necessary for mammographic facilities to meet MQSA EQUIP standards and to pass and maintain MQSA Accreditation
Incorporate MQSA standards for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) accreditation into clinical practice to pass yearly MQSA EQUIP inspections
Identify best practices to interpret and correlate tomosynthesis results to mammography for the diagnosis of suspected breast cancer
Evaluate the advantages and pitfalls associated with interpreting the results from breast MRI abbreviated sequences compared to standard MRI
Develop strategies to correctly interpret the results from breast MRI abbreviated sequences
Use best practices for image-guided breast biopsy under the guidance of mammography, ultrasound, or MRI
