Course Overview
This course is designed to provide practicing radiologists with intensive, hands-on experience in breast imaging. Throughout the three-day program, participants will develop their interpretive expertise in the evaluation of mammography studies through hands-on interpretation of over 240 digital screening, diagnostic mammograms and digital breast tomosynthesis cases at their own individual workstation. Participants will enhance their perceptive skills with direct assistance from a panel of expert radiologists.
This course satisfies the following MQSA and ACR® Accreditation requirements:
- Re-establishing continuing experience requirements of the MQSA.
- Initial qualifications for Full Field Digital Mammography under MQSA.
- This course meets the eight hours of initial training in breast tomosynthesis as required by the FDA.
At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:
- Utilize perception skills for detection of cancer at digital mammographic screening.
- Interpret digital mammographic screen-detected findings.
- Demonstrate skills to minimize the call-back rate for normal/benign findings at mammographic screening.
- Describe the application of computerized techniques as an aid in mammographic interpretation.
