Course Description

Whether for augmentation or reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, the mammographer will undoubtedly encounter women in her daily practice who present for mammography and have breast implants. Women with breast implants require additional screening views and encounter various types of complications unique to their implants. This course provides an overview of the regulatory history and types of breast implants approved for use in the United States, surgical procedures used for implantation, and common complications and adverse effects related to breast implants as well quality control principles, another important aspect of breast imaging and a critical step in ensuring quality images and patient care. This course addresses specifically two topics, breast implants and quality assurance/control, mandated by the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) for initial training in mammography.

This course is based on a printed and bound reference created by Jeana Fleitz, M.Ed., RT(R)(M). This course has a corresponding posttest containing 68 multiple choice and true/false questions.
