Overview
About this Webinar
The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) requires all new and experienced mammographers to receive a minimum of 8 hours of training/education in a new mammographic modality. Due to its various benefits to patients and healthcare providers alike, full field digital mammography (FFDM) is the new modality of choice. This course is specifically intended for those technologists with experience in the field, but no formal training in digital mammography.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Relate the history of mammographic imaging equipment, along with the evolution of screening programs and recommendations.
- Identify the physical components necessary to produce a digital mammography image.
- Describe the various dose considerations associated with digital mammography.
- Discuss the assorted quality control assessments specific to digital mammography.
- Recognize the screening positions, as well as special views, and how they relate specifically to digital image detectors.
- Compare and contrast new breast imaging modalities.
