Correlating the histologic and radiographic findings is essential to ensure that the abnormality identified by imaging studies has been properly evaluated. This activity will help pathologists understand common imaging terminology and the application of mammography, ultrasound, and MRI imaging modalities used in evaluating breast lesions. Review questions are presented throughout the activity to check your understanding. A BI-RADS 5th edition quick reference card is also provided as a printable resource. After you complete the activity, you will be presented with seven assessment questions.
Objectives
After completing this activity, you should be able to:
- Recognize common terminology associated with major imaging modalities (mammography, ultrasound, and MRI).
