• Form appropriate differential diagnosis based on multi-modality imaging of key organ systems
• Perceive and accurately interpret subtle and challenging mammographic signs of breast cancer
• Describe key findings of disease on MRI of the brain and spine
• Apply considerations in U/S, CT, and MRI of the female genitourinary tract
• And more…
