This is a one-day symposium and live webcast covering screening and surveillance mammography, interval cancers, missed cancers due to positioning errors, triangulation, suspicious mammographic lesions not seen on ultrasound, quality indicators for improving the benefit/harm ratio for breast screening, what’s new in mammography accreditation, and the benefits and pitfalls of MRI as a pre-operative tool. Interesting cases, litigation regarding missed cancers, chaperones, and meeting “informed consent” will also be reviewed.
Both the Toronto “in-room” program and live webcast have been approved by Sonography Canada for 7.75 CPD Points (4.25 Sonography Based Credits and 3.5 Relevant to Practice Credits), which are accepted by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS).
