Medical Technology Management Instituteamount of clinical knowledge on relevant topics and share ahost of professional experience from well-established patientdatabases and technical experience. IMAT/VMAT is quicklyevolving as a practical solution which rivals slice-based andfixed field IMRT.Who Should Attend: It is a must-attend for any facilityimplementing or considering to implement this technology.• Course Code: MTMI 0041• Contact Hours: 15.0• Course Length: 2 days• Prerequisite: NoneIntroduction to Musculoskeletal UltrasoundUltrasound imaging of the musculoskeletal system is a rapidlygrowing specialty. Technologic advances and portability ofsystems are making ultrasound a valuable and cost-effectivetool for the diagnosis and treatment of joint abnormalities.Presentations of proper scanning techniques, with a groupdemonstration of scanning and a review of the pathologyencountered, followed by personal hands-on instruction inscanning, will make this an effective learning experience.During the hands-on workshop, attendees will be providedwith an opportunity to learn proper imaging techniques for theshoulder, wrist, knee, and ankle. Learning will be facilitatedthrough an interactive and practical format with the directsupervision of our knowledgeable and experienced faculty.A presentation on reimbursement for MSK US will also beprovided during the reception.Who Should Attend: This workshop is for radiologists, sportsmedicine physicians, rheumatologists, and orthopedic physiciansas well as sonographers, athletic trainers, fellows, residents,and others interested in improving their skills in musculoskeletalultrasound imaging.• Course Code: MTMI 0035• Contact Hours: 12.5• Course Length: 2 days• Prerequisite: NoneMammography Course for TechnologistsHigh-quality mammographic images have a direct impact onthe quality of care for patients being evaluated for breastcancer. The MTMI Mammography Course for Technologistscontinues its reputation as the premier initial training coursefor mammography technologists and includes eight hoursintroduction to digital mammography, as required byMQSA for operations of digital mammography devices. Thiscomprehensive course uses lecture sessions, radiographs, andhands-on training sessions with live models to enhance skills andunderstanding of the mammography process. Quality control,technologist responsibilities for quality assurance, positioningwith breast implants as required by MQSA, and film critiqueare also covered. Extended clinical training is available ona limited basis for technologists wishing to complete their 25supervised exams.This intensive course will utilize a combination of lecturesessions and hands-on positioning workshops taught by a teamof experienced mammography instructors. Participants will beindividually evaluated on their competency by demonstratingbasic mammography positioning on a live model. Clinical casestudies will be reviewed during the course, and film critiqueskills will be addressed.• Course Code: MTMI 0017• Contact Hours: 40.0• Course Length: 5 days• Prerequisite: ARRT registration or state licensureMammography ReviewThis seminar is designed as a review of the topics includedon the Mammography Certification Examination conductedby the ARRT.
