Breast MRI Analysis and Interpretation with CAD-OCT 07
An accredited case review series for radiology breast imaging physicians.

Release Date: 10/24/2007
Expiration Date: 5/31/2008


OVERVIEW

It is anticipated that the release of the American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for breast imaging will create increased demand for breast MRI. On average, one breast MRI examination generates 1,000-4,000 individual images. Efficient postprocessing and interpretation of MR images can be achieved with the use of computer-aided detection (CAD) software. This lecture provides an overview of breast MRI postprocessing and interpretation using the American College of Radiologists (ACR) BI-RADS® lexicon and review of several case studies demonstrating how CAD can augment the radiologist's interpretation of images.


EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

When interpreting breast MR images using CAD, establish standard protocols using CAD as a complement to the radiologist's initial interpretation.
