 MEETING DESCRIPTION:\nDigital Mammography - New Game, New Rules! New G
 ame – New Rules! Join us to learn not only how to play the game but 
 excel at it! Film screen mammography has been the standard, but digita
 l is here! Full field digital mammography (FFDM) continues to replace 
 film screen mammography around the country. This technology is versa-t
 ile and has the ability to gather more information than ever before. T
 he technology has evolved so rapidly we are now on the third and fourt
 h generation digital mammography units. If you really want to understa
 nd digital imaging technology and the difference between DDM and CRM t
 his is the class for you. The transition from analog to digital mammog
 raphy is exciting and requires the knowledge and understanding of more
  than just how to operate the unit. Post processing techniques, tomosy
 nthesis, contrast subtraction, CAD and many more tools are available t
 o help detect breast cancers. Join us to see the use of digital imagin
 g in mammography and gain the understanding of digital imaging and dig
 ital mammography quality control. Course Topics Introduction • Histo
 ry / A Blast from the Past • Previous Modalities • Complementary M
