Mammography continues to be the most effective line of defense against breast cancer. Survival from this terrible disease is significantly enhanced by the early detection and treatment of malignant breast lesions. The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) was enacted to insure high quality mammography by all facilities offering this service. Medical physicists play an important role in assisting facilities to comply with these regulations. This seminar will help medical physicists and others keep up to date on the technological advances and state-of-the-art practices in this important field. This years program will include seven hours on digital mammography to prepare individuals to assist with proper implementation of this technology as well as count toward the continuing education requirement for this modality. Three hours on stereotactic breast biopsy are also included.

At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Review practical tips for performing mammography machine surveys.
• Share information with other attendees on problems related to quality control measurements.
• Review and discuss issues with the quality control testing of digital mammography systems.
• Learn the clinical procedures and problems of stereotactic breast biopsies.
• Become familiar with technology developments for digital mammography systems.
• Review stereotactic breast biopsy machine testing procedures and results.
• Become familiar with the clinical aspects of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
