Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) holds promise to improve a host of new imaging applications for your breast imaging practice. FFDM will improve image quality, increase patient flow, decrease patient dose and reduce retakes. The advantages of this new technology account for the proliferation of commercial FFDM units in the clinical setting. This seminar provides an opportunity to learn from an experienced faculty about this new technology and its appropriate utilization in a breast imaging practice. Case studies displayed on workstations will be reviewed to demonstrate the ability to enhance and manipulate images for a superior diagnosis. Practical considerations for making the transition to digital imaging will be emphasized, and new applications that are facilitated by the digital image format will be reviewed. The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) requires 8 hours of training on FFDM before interpreting images from these units. Attending this seminar fulfills this requirement.

This seminar is for radiologists and technologists wanting to learn more about the utilization of digital mammography in a breast imaging service as well as to obtain the 8 hours of training required by the MQSA regulations. It is also appropriate for residents, fellows, breast imaging facility managers and others interested in the clinical considerations for adopting this new technology.

The Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education for physicians. MTMI designates this educational activity for a maximum of 8 category 1 credits toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in the activity. This seminar also provides 9.5 hours of Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states.
