Here's how it works. Purchase the original DVD teaching program then order as many DVD CME Packs as needed at a significantly reduced price. It really is that simple!

Educational Symposia's innovative DVD CME Packs allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs. Having their own set provides the opportunity to view at their convenience and add to their personal reference library. DVD CME Packs are priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.

Each DVD CME Pack contains: 

• An entire set of DVDs in a convenient case designed for durability and ease of access  
• One CME application and test
• A one or two volume syllabus (depending on the series). Syllabus is included in the purchase price but is not enclosed in the DVD CME case.

See order form to order a DVD CME Pack for this series. To order a DVD CME Pack for a previously purchased DVD teaching program, visit us online at www.edusymp.com, call toll free (800) 338-5901.

Multiple CME Subscribers...

Educational Symposia DVD Teaching Programs are accredited for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM for three years from the original release date. Once the initial order is placed, the number of CME applications and/or DVD CME Packs that can be ordered is limitless. Simply call (800) 338-5901 or access our website at www.edusymp.com and reference the name of the person or facility of the originating order. See order form for pricing.

This video/DVD teaching program is structured to provide a broad clinical perspective of mammography and breast imaging. The program begins with an organized approach to interpreting mammography examinations, and includes reporting pitfalls, strategies, and the medicolegal aspects of breast imaging. Lectures will discuss breast pathology, breast ultrasound, stereotactic biopsy, and breast MRI, as well as the current status and future applications for digital mammography and existing reimbursement policies. The faculty have been chosen for their teaching ability, as well as for their clinical expertise.

This video/DVD CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians who interpret breast imaging examinations. The CME activity should also benefit referring physicians who order breast imaging procedures and technologists who perform these procedures.

At the completion of this video/DVD CME series, subscribers should be able to:

• Develop protocols to appropriately assess breast calcifications and unusual lesions
• Recognize subtle signs of invasive breast carcinoma
• Assess the current status and future applications for digital mammography
• Discuss specific applications and pitfalls of different breast biopsy techniques; stereotactic, ultrasound and MRI
• Evaluate the use of MRI in the assessment of breast pathology
• Discuss the use of ultrasound in the evaluation of benign and malignant breast disease
• Expand into clinical practice the use of 3T MRI for evaluating breast disease
• Implement clinical applications for breast ultrasound into clinical practice
• Discuss risk management strategies for the mammographer in regards to reporting and medicolegal situations

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
