SUMMARY:Successful Stereotactic Breast Biopsies
DESCRIPTION:Successful Stereotactic Breast Biopsies\n8 Hours ARRT Cate
 gory A Credit\n\nJudy Chavez, RT(R)(M)(BS)RDMS\n\nAbout this Seminar\n
 \nStereotactic breast biopsy is used to obtain pathologic information 
 from mammographic areas of suspicion. When a mass, microcalcifications
 , or area of abnormal tissue change exist, stereotactic breast biopsy 
 offers a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical biopsy often 
 before a mass develops. This seminar offers the attendee the opportuni
 ty to learn the basics as well as the tricks of the trade from an expe
 rienced technologist and supervisor. MTMI believes this education will
  bridge gaps in training so that intelligent performance becomes your 
 daily mode of operation in your imaging centers. Critical thinking bec
 omes possible once attendees develop an understanding why and how this
  procedure is done. In addition to covering quality assurance and pati
 ent documentation, the seminar reviews the ACR accreditation requireme
 nts and fulfills the credits required for accreditation.\n\nEducationa
 l Objectives\n\nAt the completion of this seminar,\nparticipants will 
 be able to:\n\nrelate the history of the development of invasive breas
 t biopsy to current biopsy and needle options for detection of breast 
 cancer.\napply what is currently known about breast cancer statistics 
 and characteristics to the detection, diagnosis and treatment of this 
 disease.\ndescribe basic anatomy and function of the breast and use te
 rminology to communicate effectively with all participants of the pati
 ent care team.\ndevelop an understanding of the principles of stereota
 xis and patient positioning to facilitate successful, efficient and co
 mfortable sampling of all suspicious areas.\nrecognize appropriate tec
 hniques that result in a sterile and analgesic biopsy.\nidentify troub
 leshooting techniques to problem solve the challenges presented.\nsumm
 arize the steps to successful stereotactic breast biopsy from patient 
 prep and tray set up through biopsy and into post care.\ndefine requir
 ements for ACR stereotactic breast biopsy accreditation and reflect on
  how these standards improve the quality of care in your center.\n\nWh
 o Should Attend\n\nThis course is useful for professionals involved in
  women’s imaging services including radiology technologists, mammogr
 aphers, sonographers, breast biopsy coordinators, breast health clinic
 ians, nurses, and medical imaging managers.\n\nAbout the Instructor\n\
