I have never seen one, but what comes to mind, immediately, is the question of digital subtraction. Do two mammography two years apart and if the projections are more or less the same, you may be able to tell the difference...

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
