Faculty

Course schedule

First session: Introduction to Breast Imaging and to Breast Pathology

Second Session

Radiological-pathological correlation in breast lesions:

A short course with emphasis on core needle biopsies

Faculty

The current availability of mammographic screening has necessitated the development of novel methods to evaluate non-palpable abnormalities of the breast. These techniques, mammographically, sonographically or MRI directed core biopsy, yield specimens whose pathologic interpretation can be extremely challenging.

 At the completion of this course, the participants will recognize the utility and, indeed, the necessity of correlation of pathologic appearance with radiologic imaging findings. Participants will understand the increased diagnostic specificity yielded by this technique as well as the limitations of core biopsy and when surgical biopsy should be recommended. The course will also examine proper specimen handling, complications of core biopsy, and histologic appearance of post core biopsy specimens.

After brief overviews of breast imaging and breast pathology, the majority of the course will consist of topics introduced by exemplary cases. Each case's imaging findings will be presented by a diagnostic radiologist specializing in breast imaging and will be followed by an evaluation of the pathologic findings and discussion concentrating on their correlation and impact on clinical management. The importance of communication between the pathologist and radiologist will be stressed throughout.

The course is intended for residents and attending surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and oncologists, which have special interest in diseases of the breast. An electronic detailed syllabus will be distributed at the course.
