Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is an exciting new application of digital mammography recently approved by the FDA. DBT is a three-dimensional technology that provides thin cross sectional images through the breast. This technology is designed to prevent overlying structures from obscuring breast masses and intersecting normal structures from being falsely identified as a cancer. There is a growing demand for implementing Digital Breast Tomosynthesis technology at current Women’s Centers as well as understanding how this new technology will impact your current workflow. This webinar will provide you with the tools you will need to understand the fundamentals, benefits and the daily utilization of DBT within your facility. A comprehensive look at the installation and implementation timeline, regulatory guidelines, and additional quality control test and personnel qualifications will also be discussed.
This webinar satisfies the MQSA requirement of 8.0 hours of training in a new mammographic modality specifically on the Hologic, GE, Siemens, and Fujifilm Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Systems.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this webinar, attendees should be able to:
