Overview
About this Webinar
This webinar highlights the value that a mammography technologist can bring to breast navigation. Beginning with “what it is”, and “how it’s done” and then expanding on the importance of navigating in the imaging spectrum. You’ll learn about the navigation matrix and case studies with images that demonstrate how navigation enhances patients’ outcomes. Last, we will discuss how to start an imaging navigation program, outlining the important tools and resources used and where to begin when starting a new program.
Educational Objectives
- Define breast navigation and understand the objectives of navigation.
- Differentiate between breast imaging navigation and breast cancer navigation and understand the navigation matrix as a tool for outlining the steps in the navigational process.
Understand the benefits of a breast imaging navigation program and what is needed to get one started.
