USC Imaging appreciates Seno Medical’s generous sponsorship of this event.
ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS CORP. is pleased to introduce Dr. A. Thomas Stavros, MD, FACR, FSRU, renowned expert in breast imaging, for an illuminating discussion on the use of an innovative imaging approach in the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Course Description:
Join A. Thomas Stavros, MD, for an introduction to Opto-Acoustic (OA) Imaging, a breakthrough modality that merges light, sound, and artificial intelligence to enhance breast cancer detection and characterization. This session will explore how the integration of OA imaging with ultrasound provides functional information in and around breast lesions, insight not previously available through conventional imaging alone. Dr. Stavros will discuss how this novel technology supports radiologists in differentiating benign from malignant findings, improving diagnostic confidence, and ultimately benefiting both patients and clinicians through more informed decision-making. (Approved for 1 SDMS CME credit, provided one is present for the entire event)
Course Objectives: Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:

Important update from the SDMS:
SDMS no longer allows its CME providers to issue Partial Credit for attendance. If you join late or leave early, the SDMS will no longer permit us to award partial pro-rated credit.
Therefore, from now on, in order to receive CME credit, you must be in attendance for the ENTIRE event via your own unique Zoom link that Zoom emailed to you when you registered. Then, and only then, will USC be able to award you any credit. So, please be prompt and attentive to the time schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience, but again, this is a new SDMS policy we must abide by. Thank you for understanding.
