Course Description

Digitization in medicine brought about massive changes in efficiency, workflow, and image quality. Perhaps these changes are no more evident and important than in mammography. Digital mammography, now the gold standard in breast cancer screening and detection, offers many advantages compared to screen-film mammography, including the ability to manipulate images, improved and more efficient workflow, and less time required to complete an examination. This course examines the development and features of digital mammography as a screening modality. It also discusses digital mammography equipment, the characteristics of a digital image, image artifacts, networking in digital mammography, digital mammography quality control procedures, and critical studies in the development and advancement of digital mammography.

This course is based on a printed and bound reference created by Rachel Gruber.  This course has a corresponding posttest containing 64 multiple choice and true/false questions.
