Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: Imaging and Implementation
8 Hours ARRT Category A Credit
Shelly Lille', BS, RT(R)(M)
About this Seminar

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a new application of digital mammography recently approved by the FDA. DBT provides thin cross sectional images through the breast. This prevents overlying structures from obscuring breast masses and prevents intersecting normal structures from being falsely identified as cancer. DBT increases the reliability of detecting abnormal structures while reducing patient call backs. This seminar will review the techniques and implementation of DBT, its practical application in the clinical setting and changes in required quality control procedures. DBT is considered a new modality under MQSA which requires all personnel to receive 8 hours of training before participating in clinical services.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this seminar,
participants will be able to:

  • Compare DBT to earlier methods using 2D mammography.
  • Understand how DBT imaging is performed.
  • Examine the benefits of 3D imaging for mammography.
  • Review current requirements for DBT.
