Hands-on Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Training Workshop is organized by Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) and will be held from Mar 23 - 24, 2019 at Christine E. Lynn Women's Health & Wellness Institute, Boca Raton, Florida, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is designed for medical physicists to satisfy the 8 hour training required by MQSA for DBT units before performing surveys and QC and 3 hours of Stereotactic credit. Others interested in obtaining this training would include medical physics graduate students and residents, physics assistants, technologists, state and federal mammography facility inspectors and others. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 13.25 hours of continuing education. Workshop Format: This DBT workshop is comprised of didactic lecture and hands-on workshops. Attendees will be assigned to small groups and rotate through the hands-on labs. Eight lab sessions will be facilitated by faculty members and will be conducted on GE Essential and GE Pristina Units including Stereotactic add-ons. Description: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) provides planar images of the breast without over and under lying tis­sue thus reducing false positives and improving diagnostic accuracy. Un­der MQSA rules, DBT is considered a new modality and requires 8 hours of training in the new mammographic modality.  While the FDA recognizes there are some features that are unique to each specific DBT system, personnel need only to obtain training on one DBT system, or general DBT training, to meet the new modality training requirements before participation in the surveying and QC of these units. This program includes over 8 hours of training on DBT, 3 hours on stereotactic breast biopsy and covers the unique features of the FDA approved Digital Breast Tomosynthesis systems.  The hands-on sessions will include covering the DBT manufacturer specific QC, the ACR quality control programs and performance testing for stereotactic add-ons systems for the GE Essential and Pristina DBT units. Educational Objectives: The educational objectives of this program are to: • Understand the techniques for collecting tomosynthesis performance data. • Appreciate the unit and detector performance • Review the clinical advantages of DBT. • Understand the role of DBT in screening and diagnostic applications • Understand the factors affecting in plane and depth resolution of DBT • Participate in the performing the approved QC tests on the GE Essential and GE Pristina DBT units including the stereotactic add on systems.  • Understand the data reporting procedures & interpretation of the QC tests. • Review the operation and use of stereotactic add on systems for the GE essential Ge Pristina DBT units. • Review complimentary imaging modalities and clinical indications for use.

An overview of the basic principles and techniques utilized in breast ultrasound will be presented. This course will be helpful for mammographers and sonographers who are directly involved in breast imaging and physicians whose practice includes women’s health. Participants should have an understanding of the basic concepts of mammography. If you are a mammographer looking for training in breast ultrasound or a sonographer wanting to review basic breast imaging skills, this course is for you. Sonographers and physicians wanting to learn breast ultrasound techniques would also benefit from this course. This course will utilize a combination of lecture sessions and hands-on positioning workshops taught by an experienced sonographer and technologist. Instruction in patient scanning is stressed with hands-on demonstrations using clinical ultrasound scanners, tissue equivalent breast phantoms and live models. Educational Objectives: At the completion of this seminar, participants will be able to: • Optimize preparation for ARRT and ARDMS Breast Ultrasound Registry exams. • Understand how the basic principles and instrumentation of ultrasound affect the technique of breast ultrasound. • Recognize normal breast anatomy on the ultrasound image and evaluate lesions for their benign or malignant features. • Recall the mammographic and ultrasonic features of specific benign and malignant lesions. • Explain the role and importance of mammography, ultrasound, MRI, nuclear medicine, and ductography in the work up and management of the breast. • Recognize breast ultrasound artifacts, understand why they occur, and describe techniques to minimize the occurrence of those that degrade the image. • Develop an awareness of the invasive procedures that are available, as well as the benefits and limitations of each. • Define the different surgical and nonsurgical treatment options for patients who develop breast cancer.
