This first in a series of three, one-hour webinars for radiologists will focus on building skills in interpreting digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) cases. Similarities and differences between 2D and 3D mammography will be highlighted, followed by a review of several different case studies, during which participants will have the opportunity to read over the shoulder of faculty.

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.
