MEETING DESCRIPTION:
Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) holds promise to improve a host of new imaging applications for your breast imaging practice. FFDM will improve image quality, increase patient flow, decrease patient dose and reduce retakes. The advantages of this new technology account for the proliferation of commercial FFDM units in the clinical setting.
This seminar provides an opportunity to learn from an experienced faculty about this new technology and its appropriate utilization in a breast imaging practice. Practical considerations for making the transition to digital imaging will be emphasized, and new applications that are facilitated by the digital image format will be reviewed.

The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) requires 8 hours of training on FFDM before operating these units. Attending this seminar fulfills this requirement.

This seminar provides 8.5 hours of Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states. It also provides 8 hours of training in digital mammography as a new modality as required by MQSA. A certificate of attendance will be provided for each individual upon completion of the course. Attendees must attend the entire course to receive full credit.
