MEETING DESCRIPTION:
Mammography Registry Review
Mammography was the first advanced registry offered by the
ARRT and mammographic imaging has changed dramatically since that first exam!
Big changes occurred in July 2006 resulting in at least five (5) different
tests? It is hard to keep up on all the changes in technology and quality
assurance that is required for digital mammography, film screen mammography,
and how about those regulatory standards for MQSA? Let our experienced
instructors cure your pre-registry jitters with a good dose of quality
information. Come join us for an informative session that will leave you
confident and ready to take the ARRT advanced registry in mammography.
