Digital Mammography
To help with the precise diagnosis and identification of various breast disorders, expand your understanding of digital mammography and get the skills you need to undertake digital imaging of the breast.
Screening mammograms are essential for the precise diagnosis and identification of breast cancer. When these tests are performed, radiographers and technologists can provide high-quality imaging findings that show a variety of abnormalities and accurately represent the state of the breasts.
Digital mammography enhances imaging capabilities by enabling technologists and radiographers to digitally record and edit images to improve the images and detect abnormalities faster. But because the quality needed for successful diagnoses depends on proper posture, digital mammography training courses like this one can provide vital skills that enhance test quality.
Radiologists and mammographers can enhance their present skill sets with digital mammography training from the Advanced Health Education Center, which also gives crucial mammography positioning advice to provide better picture quality.
What Do These Mammographic Positioning Courses Cover?
Mammography still plays a crucial role in screening and detecting early-stage breast cancer in women. Digital mammography offers a modern approach to this vital test by providing enhanced capabilities for capturing and manipulating images to give a more detailed view of the patient's breast.
The process by which these tests are conducted remains similar to traditional methods, which means proper positioning is still imperative in maximizing opportunities for detection.
The digital mammography course provides an excellent opportunity for radiographers and other medical practitioners to expand their knowledge base on digital mammography techniques and improve their skills in proper mammography positioning.
