Introduction to Breast Tomosynthesis, Breast Density, and Breast Cancer Risk 14.5 Category A CE

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.

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.

Diagnostic Breast Imaging: A Multi-Modality Approach 12.25 Category A CE

Perhaps the first thing that comes to a patient’s mind when a breast abnormality is found is “What next?” From problem-solving mammography to diagnostic procedures involving the newest breast imaging technology, this course reviews diagnostic breast imaging procedures performed with stereotaxis, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), ultrasound (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These procedures include wire localization, core needle and vacuum-assisted biopsy, ductography, fine needle aspiration cytology, clip placement, elastography, and specimen radiography. This course reviews basic breast imaging principles, indications and contraindications, equipment, and considerations for each procedure and modality. Current screening recommendations and implications, a review of screening and additional mammographic views, and basic patient care, infection control, and safety protocols are included.
