Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (Oct 19, 2024)
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis is organized by Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) and will be held on Oct 19, 2024.
Description:
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is an exciting new application of digital mammography. DBT is a three-dimensional technology that provides thin cross sectional images through the breast. This technology is designed to prevent overlying structures from obscuring breast masses and intersecting normal structures from being falsely identified as a cancer. There is a growing demand for implementing Digital Breast Tomosynthesis technology at current Women’s Centers as well as understanding how this new technology will impact your current workflow. This program will provide you with the tools you will need to understand the fundamentals, benefits and the daily utilization of DBT within your facility. A comprehensive look at regulatory guidelines, additional quality control tests and personnel qualifications will be discussed.
Educational Objectives:
At the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:
• Understand the fundamentals of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT).
• Ascertain the benefits of Digital Breast Tomosynthsis over conventional mammography.
• Identify additional QC tests for DBT equipment and unique QC tests for each approved unit (Hologic, GE, Siemens and Fujifilm).
• Identify personnel training requirements.
• Comprehend Regulatory application processes unique to DBT equipment.
• Apply DBT concepts to daily operational needs from an administrative perspective.
