Who will benefit from this course?

This continuing education activity is for radiologists, surgeons and radiologic
technologists who are involved with breast imaging and intervention.

Fundamentals of Breast Ultrasound

This online course is designed for physicians, surgeons, and nurses not experienced in the fundamental techniques of breast ultrasound, including physics of ultrasound, breast anatomy and lesion identification, scanning techniques, and intervention. This course consists of several videos of presentations given at a live course that occurred in 2009. Please visit www.cme.hsc.usf.edu/fbu for full information.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Explain the advantages of breast ultrasound in the overall workup of the breast patient;
  • Identify which patients are the best candidates for breast ultrasound;
  • Demonstrate proper patient positioning for breast ultrasound; and
  • Improve diagnostic accuracy in imaging lesions.
