48. Beyond Density: BI-RADS v2025, Advocacy, and the Road Ahead *CME*
<p>BI-RADS isn't just getting an update -it's setting up a new foundation for the future of breast imaging. </p><p>The first major BI-RADS update in more than a decade has arrived - and it's much more than a terminology refresh. BI-RADS v2025 reflects how breast imaging has evolved, bringing greater consistency across modalities while supporting a future for more personalized breast cancer screening and care.</p><p>In this episode, Maddi and Fatima Elahi, DO sit down with Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, Chair of the ACR Commission on Breast Imaging, and Georgia Spear, MD, Chair of Government Relations for the ACR Breast Commission, to unpack the biggest changes in BI-RADS v2025, the spirited debates behind the new lexicon, and what these updates mean for radiologists in everyday practice. </p><p>But the conversation goes far beyond reporting terminology, exploring the shift toward personalized, risk-based screening, the growing role of breast density, and why advocacy efforts like the Find It Early Act may shape the future of breast cancer detection just as much as the imaging itself. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Link for claiming CME:</strong> (further instructions below) </p><p>https://cmetracker.net/EVMS/Publisher?page=pubOpen#/getCertificate/31901</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Accreditation Information</strong></p><p><strong>Contributors</strong></p><p>Madison Wulfeck, MD, MBA, CIIP</p><p>Fatima Elahi, DO</p><p>Georgia Spear, MD</p><p>Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, FSBI, FAIUM</p><p><strong>Reviewers</strong></p><p>Madison Wulfeck, MD, MBA</p><p>Fatima Elahi, DO</p><p><strong>Release Date</strong></p><p>July 2026</p><p><strong>Expiration Date</strong></p><p>July 2029</p><p><strong>Disclosure Statement</strong></p><p>The planners and contributors have no financial relationships with ineligible companies to disclose.</p><p><strong>Accreditation Statement</strong></p><p>This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Science at Old Dominion University and Contrast & Clarity Podcast.
