WOMEN’S IMAGING IN WINE COUNTRY
SEP 30 – OCT 5, 2012 / SONOMA, CALIFORNIA
The fi eld of women’s imaging is continually challenging the radiologist to keep up with
the evolving rules, roles and regulations imposed in imaging of the breast, gynecologic
organs and pregnancy. This course is designed to reinforce the basic foundations
of conventional imaging, strengthen the concepts of advanced applications, and
anticipate what is coming on the horizon. Diagnostic pearls, tips and tricks for
successful image-guided biopsies, and practical applications with a focus on practice
management will be emphasized. A faculty panel discussion will offer attendees the
oppurtunity to address current breast imaging protocols and clinical practice concerns.
In addition, interesting and challenging breast and obstetrical cases will be presented
as unknowns, allowing participants to test and enhance their diagnostic skills.
Earn SAM Credit an opportunity for completion of a Self-Assessment Module will
be offered. “Diagnosis of Calcifi cations and Stereotactic Biopsy” has been approved
by the American Board of Radiology (reference # UCSS 100212-1354) for 1 SAM
credit and for meeting the criteria for self-assessment toward the purpose of fulfi lling
requirements in the ABR Maintenance of Certifi cation Program. SAM credits are
