New Game – New Rules! Join us to learn not only how to play the game but exce l at it! Film screen mammography has been the standard, but digital is here! Full field digital mammography (FFDM) continues to replace film screen mammography around the country. This technology is versa-tile and has the ability to gather more information than ever before. The t echnology has evolved so rapidly we are now on the third and fourth ge neration digital mammography units. If you really want to understand d igital imaging technology and the difference between DDM and CRM this is the class for you. The transition from analog to digital mammograph y is exciting and requires the knowledge and understanding of more tha n just how to operate the unit. Post processing techniques, tomosynthe sis, contrast subtraction, CAD and many more tools are available to he lp detect breast cancers. Join us to see the use of digital imaging in mammography and gain the understanding of digital imaging and digital mammography quality control.
