About this webinar
This webinar can be used as an aid in preparing for both ARDMS and ARRT registry exams.
It will provide an opportunity to learn ultrasound imaging techniques and to upgrade
your skills in this increasingly demanding role. Ultrasound has proven to be a very
valuable and cost-effective tool for visualizing cystic and solid structures in the breast.
Ultrasound provides a complementary imaging technique to mammography and together they provide
improved detection of breast cancer. Special knowledge and skill is needed to fully
utilize the capabilities of breast ultrasound. This seminar will provide increased knowledge
of the technical and clinical aspects of breast ultrasound and an overview of the basic
principles and concepts of ultrasound.
A printable download will be
e-mailed to each registrant prior to
each session of the webinar.
This will allow you
to follow along
with the presentation and make
notes as you feel necessary.
This webinar will be presented
in
four 2-hour sessions.
