Rereleased Activity
This activity was originally released as Correlating Pathology Results to Breast Imaging (SAM eligible) and was available between June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2014. The content was reviewed in March 2014 and an updated version of the activity, with the same title, was available from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017. The content was reviewed in January 2017. If you completed previous versions, you are NOT eligible to claim CME/SAM credit for completing this updated course.

Description
Correlating the histologic and radiographic findings is essential to ensure that the abnormality identified by imaging studies has been properly evaluated. Failure to perform proper correlation can result in a false negative diagnosis if a suspicious lesion was inadequately sampled, an underestimate of the extent of disease, delayed diagnosis of malignancy, and/or failure to identify nonmalignant high-risk lesions for which additional measures may be indicated. In this activity you will learn to identify key features in radiographic images that prompt biopsy and when it is appropriate to recommend excision after a core biopsy. You will also have an opportunity to practice correlating imaged findings with histologic findings and recommending a course of action when findings do not correlate.

After you complete the activity, you will be presented with a 13-question post-test.

Objectives
After completing this SAM eligible activity and post-test, you should be able to:

  1. Identify features in radiographic images for which biopsy is indicated.
  2. Identify when it is appropriate to recommend excision after core biopsy.
  3. Correlate radiographic and histologic findings and recommend a course of action when the two do not correlate.

CME Information
Accreditation: The College of American Pathologists (CAP) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

CME Category 1: The College of American Pathologists designates this internet enduring material educational activity for a maximum of 3.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

This activity meets the American Board of Pathology’s (ABP) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements for Self-Assessment Modules (SAMs).

Continuing Professional Development (CPD), Section 3 Credit
Accreditation in Canada: This event is an Accredited Self Assessment Program (Section 3) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, approved by the Canadian Association of Pathologists - Association Canadienne des Pathologistes. You may claim a maximum of 3.25 hour(s) equivalent to 9.75 credit(s).

Passing Requirements
You have a total of three opportunities to take and pass the post-test. If you correctly answer 70% or more of the post-test items, you may claim credit. CME/SAM credit can be applied to the American Board of Pathology (ABP) Self-Assessment Module (SAM) requirements. The AMA requires that you pass the post-test in a enduring program to claim credit; therefore, if you do not pass, you cannot claim credit.

Attention Canadian Participants: You have three opportunities to take and pass the post-test. If you do not pass the post-test after three attempts, you may still claim CPD credit (self-assessment program credits) for this activity.
