Mammography<br />
Breast Ultrasound for Mammographers<br />
The importance of ultrasound as an adjunct procedure to mammography is well documented.<br />
The normal anatomy, physiology, and pathologic conditions evaluated by ultrasound<br />
will be the basis of this educational activity. The increased utilization of breast<br />
ultrasound requires clinicians to integrate the fundamentals of sonography and mammography<br />
to enhance the value of breast ultrasound. The course combines classroom<br />
learning with practical hands-on scanning to maximize the learning experience. Ultrasound-guided<br />
interventional procedures and examination of breast implants will be<br />
discussed. Case studies will be utilized to correlate the mammogram with the breast<br />
ultrasound, and to recognize breast ultrasound artifacts.<br />
Objectives<br />
At the completion of this course, the learner will be able to:<br />
• Describe the role of breast ultrasound as an adjunct to mammography in the evaluation of breast disease<br />
• Identify and display appropriate normal anatomy and orientation in the ultrasound field of view<br />
• Describe basic scanning protocols<br />
• Correlate areas of suspicion on the ultrasound and mammogram<br />
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of the equipment knobology<br />
• Choose the correct transducer for the ultrasound examination<br />
• Successfully complete a basic breast ultrasound examination following correct patient preparation and procedure<br />
protocols<br />
• Identify breast ultrasound artifacts and methods utilized to reduce their occurrence<br />
• Be able to identify sources and research reference materials for additional information on breast ultrasound<br />

Class Size<br />
Class size is limited to maximize personal instruction<br />
between instructor and student. All instruction is<br />
instructor directed.<br />
Equipment<br />
<strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Health</strong> utilizes a variety of ultrasound equipment.<br />
We are fortunate to have many different units<br />
at one time in our laboratory. Each class includes basic<br />
equipment utilization. The class does not include applications<br />
training for a specific brand of equipment. This<br />
is best accomplished by your equipment manufacturer.<br />
