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 specific to the Hologic Selenia Dimensions® DBT system.

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 120 multiple choice and true/false questions.
