SUMMARY:Things You Should Know About Digital Mammography
DESCRIPTION:When transitioning from analog to digital mammography we h
 ave the privilege of learning how to operate the unit and per-form the
  QC procedures from the very knowledgeable equipment applications spec
 ialists. This applications training is a very important part of the tr
 ansition but for those of us who have no digital imaging training the 
 “why\" and \"what does it mean\" is elusive. Understanding what the 
 QC procedures mean and why we are doing them is as important as how to
  perform them. Technical factors although typically automatic are very
  important to capture the important information needed to diagnose bre
 ast cancer. This technology requires new technique protocols and QC pr
 ocedures which are manufacturer specific.\nJoin us to learn how digita
 l imaging can be integrated into your existing mammography practice wi
 th minimal hassle and maximum results! You will be surprised to learn 
 that the transition is easy and there is a new world of information th
 at can be acquired using digital technology.\n\nCourse Topics\nIntrodu
