Course Description
You may be seeing more Breast MRI cases in your everyday practice. Breast MRI has the highest sensitivity for breast cancer detection among any imaging modality today. It has become a critical tool for early detection in higher-risk women.
Breast MRI interpretation can be quite challenging. You may wonder “What do I do with that lesion?” and “How do I approach my interpretation based on what I know about this patient?”
In this in-depth Mastery Series course, Dr. Lisa Mullen helps you better understand breast MRI rationale, indications, protocols, and reporting, and provides essential interpretation pearls and pitfalls. Dr. Mullen will walk you through the most fundamental to the most challenging cases.
With Dr. Mullen’s teaching, you will be better equipped to accurately and confidently read Breast MRI. This is one you don’t want to miss!
Foundational Topics include:
- Rationale and Indications for Breast MRI
- Protocols & Techniques
- BI-RADS Lexicon
- Report Tips and Examples
In-depth Case Review – 40+ cases with full DICOMs showing examples of:
- BI-RADS 1 – 6 in a variety of patient settings
- Range of Background Parenchymal Enhancement (BPE)
- Enhancing Findings (focus, masses, non-mass enhancement, lymph nodes)
- And other interesting findings, such as a case of a patient who underwent Breast MRI after Covid 19 vaccine
And when you’re done…
