3D Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection

ARRT® AcceptedAHRA ApprovedCategory ANMTCB AcceptedCA Digital Radiography
1.5
CE Credits

This continuing education course introduces an innovative concept for a 3D X-ray imaging system aimed at improving breast cancer detection while addressing the limitations of conventional mammography. It highlights the challenges of current 2D mammography, such as tissue overlap, false diagnoses, and the discomfort caused by breast compression. The course explores advancements like tomosynthesis and digital mammography, while also discussing complementary imaging modalities like ultrasonography, MRI, and scintimammography.
