Course Overview
The practice of breast imaging has been transformational, propelling this specialty from direct-exposure techniques in the 1960s to today’s full-field digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis. Additionally, federal regulations based on MQSA and the growing number of states adopting Breast Density Notification Laws have helped shape the specialty of breast imaging.

With the growing adoption of digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography), additional algorithms for screening and diagnostic workup of high-risk women have emerged, and interventional procedures under tomosynthesis guidance are being incorporated into daily practice. Using case examples, this webinar addresses the challenges presented by 3D mammography and tomosynthesis-directed biopsy; how to safely and effectively perform 3D breast biopsy with tomosynthesis; the potential complications and challenges of 3D breast biopsy with tomosynthesis; and comparison of upright and prone biopsy techniques.

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

• Describe how the addition of 3D mammography to current practice can introduce new challenges that can be solved with tomosynthesis-directed biopsy
• Explain the mechanics of 3D-guided biopsy with tomosynthesis and how to safely and effectively sample the lesion(s) of interest
• Discuss potential complications and challenges of 3D-guided biopsy and compare upright tomosynthesis-directed biopsy to prone techniques
