Screening Mammography Saves Lives: Classic Lecture, Daniel B. Kopans MD

Without screening, there is little reason to image the breast. Tomosynthesis and other improvements depend on appropriate screening. Dr. Kopans presents the evidence you need to know for the American Cancer Society and ACR screening mammography recommendations, compared with controversial new guidelines that may restrict mammography, the only test for breast cancer that is proven to save lives in randomized controlled trials. ~objectives~ Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: Access the results of new breast care-imaging research and assess their potential applications to clinical practice. Appraise the potential of tomosynthesis innovations and advances to enhance clinical practice and problem solving. Describe knowledge and skills relevant to clinical practice of breast care-imaging. Apply principles of critical thinking to screening recommendations from experts and peers in the radiological sciences, and other members of the breast care team.
