Customer Reviews

“This course was so amazing.  So much information that will help me in my work.  A lot of information that was not covered by the Application Specialist.  The breast cancer risk information was extremely helpful.  I already do most of the patient care that was outlined, but always great to have affirmation on a job well done.”~Bridget B. 12/2020

“As a loyal customer to X-Ray Lady courses over many years and a 49 year veteran of radiologic technology and mammography, I always find your courses full of good review and lots of new information.  As someone who is fighting retirement, this course gave me ideas on how I might use my knowledge to reinvent myself as a Breast Patient Navigator after I finally hang up my mammo hat.  Thank you!”~Susan B. 06/2020

“This course was extremely beneficial to me personally.  My primary modality is CT, but I am frequently asked to do back-up Mammo.  We just purchased two 3-D digital mammo units at our office and this course has helped me to understand the basic principles of 3-D mammography. Thank you!”~Patricia C. 05/2020

“This was a very good course.  It was rather extensive but contained a good refresher and covered the topic well.  I highly recommend.”~LaVeta C. 7/9/19

“Quick, friendly service.  Informative test.  Highly recommend.”~Amelia W. 1/18/19

Course Description

This course provides an introduction to Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) including its development and acceptance across the country, the history and clinical significance of DBT, an overview of system design, implications and advantages of DBT, and the mammographer’s role in breast tomosynthesis examinations. This course also examines breast anatomy and density both in conjunction with breast tomosynthesis and as it relates to breast cancer risk factors. The advent of breast tomosynthesis is accompanied by increased awareness and regulations regarding breast density, especially in regards to patient notification, screening procedures, and further diagnostic tests. This course gives an all-encompassing view at the breast cancer screening process and highlights essential elements of high quality screening procedures, breast cancer risks, diagnostic testing, treatment navigation, and breast cancer survivorship.

The content of this course is based on the Hologic Selenia Dimensions® DBT system and is sufficient to meet the 8 hours of new modality training and continuing education for DBT.
