MEETING DESCRIPTION:
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.

This activity is designed to provide continuing education for the practicing clinical medical physicist.

This seminar series has been approved by CAMPEP for up to 15 hours of Medical Physics Continuing Education Credit (MPCEC) for qualified medical physicists.

This activity is designed to provide 15 hours of continuing education in mammography. The seminar series has been approved by CAMPEP for up to 15 hours of Medical Physics Continuing Education Credit (MPCEC) for qualified medical physicists. This program includes 6.75 hours training on the surveying of digital mammography units, 5.75 hours on the surveying of film/screen systems and 3 hours on surveying stereotactic breast biopsy units.
