OVERVIEW

Breast Ultrasound Course is organized by Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) and will be held from Dec 04 - 06, 2026.

Description:
Breast sonography training course provides increased knowledge of the technical and clinical aspects of breast ultrasound and practical hands-on clinical experience in preparation for breast ultrasound certification. An overview of basic principles and techniques utilized in breast ultrasound is presented. This course is helpful for mammographers, sonographers, and radiologic technologists directly involved in breast sonography and imaging and physicians whose practice includes women’s health.

This breast sonography training course utilizes a combination of lecture sessions and positioning workshops taught by an experienced breast sonographer and technologist. Instruction in patient scanning is stressed with hands-on demonstrations using clinical ultrasound scanners, tissue equivalent breast phantoms, and live models.

This activity provides the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for breast ultrasound certification and registration.
