A certified one-hour prerecorded webinar for radiologists who diagnose and treat patients with breast disease.

Course Overview
The final in a series of three, one-hour webinars for radiologists focuses on building skills in interpreting digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) cases. Similarities and differences between 2D and 3D mammography will be highlighted, faculty will share their initial experiences with DBT-guided biopsy, and several case studies will be reviewed.

Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Evaluate the potential role of DBT as a complementary imaging modality for screening and diagnostic patients.
• Explain the similarities and differences between 2D and 3D mammography.
• Develop a systematic strategy for interpreting breast tomosynthesis images for improved diagnostic accuracy.
• Discuss the role of DBT-guided biopsy in clinical practice.
