Advancing clinical expertise through structured training in breast cancer screening and diagnosis

Vision

To be the most trusted and innovative platform for radiology education, empowering medical professionals to achieve diagnostic excellence and advance patient care through accessible, state-of-the-art learning.

Mission

To provide comprehensive and interactive radiology education that leverages advanced technology and expert-led content to enhance the knowledge, skills, and diagnostic capabilities of medical students, residents, and practicing radiologists.

Foundational knowledge

Anatomy and Physiology

Physics and Instrumentation

Physics and Instrumentation

Normal breast anatomy, histology, and physiological changes associated with age, hormones, pregnancy,  and lactation.

Physics and Instrumentation

Physics and Instrumentation

Physics and Instrumentation

Principles of mammography (including digital and screen-film), ultrasound, and MRI. This includes image quality, technical factors, artifacts, and equipment quality control (QC).

Pathology

ACR BI-RADS®:

ACR BI-RADS®:

Understanding the appearance, clinical significance, and risk factors of benign lesions (e.g., cysts, fibroadenomas), high-risk lesions (e.g., atypical ductal hyperplasia), and malignancies (e.g., ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive carcinoma).

ACR BI-RADS®:

ACR BI-RADS®:

ACR BI-RADS®:

The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) is the standard lexicon for reporting findings across mammography, ultrasound, and MRI. The platform must provide detailed training on its categories, terminology, and appropriate assessment and management recommendations..

Imaging techniques and interpretation

Mammography

  • Screening and diagnostic mammography: Indications, best practices, and the differences in workflow.
  • Interpretation: Recognizing normal anatomy, parenchymal patterns, and features of masses, calcifications, and architectural distortion.
  • Positioning: Ensuring proper positioning for standard and supplementary views, and recognizing positioning errors.

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)

The physics, image reconstruction, and comparison to 2D mammography. Key learning should include reduced recall rates and improved cancer detection, especially in dense breasts.

New and emerging technologies

  • Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM): Principles, indications, and interpretation of images using an iodinated contrast agent.
  • Molecular breast imaging (MBI): How this nuclear medicine technique is used for screening and diagnosis. 

Breast ultrasound

  • Technique: Hands-on training and indications, including evaluation of palpable lumps, mammographic abnormalities, and high-risk patients.
  • Interpretation: Differentiating benign and malignant solid masses and assessing cystic lesions.
  • Advanced ultrasound: Training on elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and automated breast ultrasound (ABUS).

Breast MRI:

  • Indications and protocols: Appropriateness for high-risk screening, staging, and monitoring treatment response
  • Interpretation: Recognizing normal anatomy, enhancement kinetics, benign vs. malignant features, and evaluation of breast implants.
  • Abbreviated breast MRI: Understanding this emerging, faster screening technique.

Advanced topics and future trends

Artificial intelligence (AI)

Molecular imaging and therapy response

Artificial intelligence (AI)

How AI is being applied to breast imaging for risk assessment, cancer detection (CAD), workflow triage, and predicting treatment response. The platform should also cover the ethical and medicolegal aspects of using AI.

Multimodality correlation

Molecular imaging and therapy response

Artificial intelligence (AI)

Case studies and modules focused on correlating findings across different imaging techniques and with pathology results.

Molecular imaging and therapy response
