WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) : Practical Application is organized by Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) and will be held on Dec 09, 2017.
The target audience for this medical event is Mammography technologists and Supervisors. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 8 Credits.
Course Description:
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.
Educational Objectives:
At the completion of this webinar, attendees should be able to:
• Understand the fundamentals of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT).
• Ascertain the benefits of Digital Breast Tomosynthsis over conventional mammography.
• Identify additional QC tests for DBT equipment and unique QC tests for each approved unit (Hologic, GE, Siemens and Fujifilm).
• Identify personnel training requirements.
• Understand the installation and implementation timeline for DBT equipment.
• Comprehend Regulatory application processes unique to DBT equipment.
• Apply DBT concepts to daily operational needs from an administrative perspective.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
