A Highly Practical and Clinically Relevant Review in Breast Imaging
Breast cancer is one of radiology’s most common — and most litigated — diagnoses. The 9th edition of Topics in Breast Imaging goes beyond routine updates to spotlight the breakthroughs and pitfalls shaping your practice today.
In this online video course, Dr. R. James Brenner and a nationally recognized faculty from UC San Diego, Weill Cornell, City of Hope® Cancer Center, and Mayo Clinic employ real-world cases, expert commentary, and imaging–histopathology correlations to help you sharpen interpretations, strengthen recommendations, and avoid the medico-legal missteps that cause most malpractice claims.
Through 31 evidence-based CME lectures, you’ll explore:
- AI & Liability: Where AI truly helps, where it introduces risk, and the implications for medico-legal exposure
- MRI Everywhere: Staging, recurrence detection, diffusion applications, and incidental findings
- Biopsy vs. Surveillance: When “watchful waiting” is safer than intervention
- Special Circumstances: Pregnancy-associated breast cancer and imaging for transgender patients

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this activity, you will be able to:
- Differentiate the imaging findings of benign and malignant breast masses
- Recognize the features of benign or malignant calcifications on mammogram
- Formulate approaches to one- and two-view asymmetries seen on screening mammogram
- Recognize the issues regarding and methods to detect sentinel lymph nodes of the breast
- Evaluate issues regarding risk, breast density and phenotypes, and mathematical models
- Analyze approaches to supplementary screening imaging modalities beyond mammography
- Recognize indications and limitations of stereotactic breast biopsy
- Analyze approaches and limitations of ultrasound-guided breast techniques
- Compare methods of preoperative image-guided localization of nonpalpable lesions for surgical excision
- Review technique considerations for biopsy using nuclear imaging, MRI, and contrast-enhanced mammography
- Determine appropriate management recommendations following biopsies of “high-risk” breast lesions
- Distinguish criteria for recommending surveillance rather than biopsy for probably benign breast lesions
- Recognize signs of silicone implant rupture
- Analyze indications and expected outcomes when applying MRI interpretation criteria
- Recognize current molecular profiles associated with breast cancer diagnoses
- Discuss the histologic basis for macroscopic findings on mammography
- Explain the potentials and limitations of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into breast imaging practice
