About this Course
Our students have a 94% pass rate when taking the Mammography Boards!
(data gathered from 2019 survey)
The Initial Training in Mammography course will include all MQSA mandated material as well as an emphasis on mammography registry review. This course will cover all ARRT mammography exam content specifications as well as serve as a review for the California state mammography exam. Our course will incorporate the MQSA requirement of 8 hours of digital mammography throughout the 5 days. Hands on positioning workshops for those who attend the on-site programs will allow attendees the opportunity to work one on one with instructors and models to practice and learn the basic mammographic screening procedures. The week includes a registry review in an interactive and fun learning style.
This course has been approved by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) for 40 hours of Category A credit in initial mammography training requirements.This 40 credit activity provides the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for certification and registration.
Optional 6th Day - WEBINAR ONLY - Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Training
The FDA guidance states that personnel need only obtain training on one DBT system, or obtain general DBT training, to meet the new modality training requirement. However, since some features are unique to each DBT system, personnel are encouraged to pursue additional training on those features of their unit(s). Attendees staying for a 6th day of instruction will receive 8 hours of Category A credit in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis training also required by the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) before performing Digital Breast Tomsynthesis exams on Hologic Selenia Dimensions, GE SenoClaire, Siemens Mammomat Inspiration and Fujifilm Aspire Cristalle.
