Breast Imaging: Advanced Multimodality

Designed for both the clinical radiologist who specializes in breast imaging and the radiologist who has general diagnostic duties, this online video CME program delivers practical, case-based insights across the full spectrum of breast imaging.

UCSF Breast Imaging highlights recent developments, with a strong focus on the use of multimodality imaging and intervention (mammography, ultrasound and MRI), as well as the growing use of tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography.

Dynamic continuing medical education lectures, challenging cases, and discussion panels will help sharpen diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making. Additional topics include:

• BI-RADS 6th edition changes and updates
• Breast ultrasound and palpable lump work-up
• MRI protocols, indications, and challenging case review
• Axillary assessment, staging, and histologic insights
• Medicolegal considerations and malpractice case review

Series Release Date: June 1, 2026
Estimated time to complete activity: 23.0 hours

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

• Apply and utilize BI-RADS categories as appropriate, and be aware of changes and updates in the upcoming 6th edition
• Develop a skillful and practical approach to performing and interpreting mammography and breast US
• Understand and implement the growing use of MRI in the clinical setting
• Understand and adopt the current use of tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography in breast imaging

Intended Audience

Radiologists and physicians from other medical specialties who will benefit from a greater knowledge of imaging protocols, imaging methods and image interpretation.
