Advanced Multimodality Breast Imaging CME
Oakstone UCSF Breast Imaging 2026 is a practical, case-based CME program designed for breast imaging specialists as well as radiologists with general diagnostic responsibilities. This course provides a comprehensive update across the full spectrum of breast imaging, with emphasis on mammography, ultrasound, MRI, tomosynthesis, contrast-enhanced mammography, and image-guided intervention.
Through expert-led lectures, challenging cases, and panel discussions, participants will review BI-RADS updates, breast ultrasound interpretation, palpable lump work-up, MRI protocols and indications, axillary assessment, staging, histologic correlation, and medicolegal considerations relevant to daily breast imaging practice.
* Series Release Date: June 16, 2026
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Apply and utilize BI-RADS categories appropriately, including awareness of updates in the upcoming 6th edition.
- Develop a practical approach to performing and interpreting mammography and breast ultrasound.
- Understand and implement the growing role of breast MRI in clinical practice.
- Understand current applications of tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography in breast imaging.
