This unit of study will examine the most recent statistics on breast augmentation and reconstructive surgeries. An increasing number of women choosing to increase their breast size, the mammographer will encounter patients with breast implants more often. Problems associated with breast implants and clinical presentation will also be covered. We will also discuss the special technique required to mammographically image the augmented breasts with an emphasis on the inclusion of maximum breast tissue for the early detection of breast cancer.

Imaging Breast Implants Intro

Despite the poor reports on the nightly news about our sluggish economy, the plastic surgery market continues to demonstrate significant growth for the past two years. The most recent statistics available from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) indicate that 13.8 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures were performed in the United States in 2011, an increase of 5% since 2010. An additional 5.5 million reconstructive plastic surgery procedures were also performed, up 5% since 2010. ASPS President Malcolm Z. Roth, M.D. remarked, “While the rate of economic recovery in the U.S. is still uncertain, 2011 proved to be a good year for plastic surgery.”

In this Imaging Breast Implants Course, we will examine the most recent statistics on breast augmentation and reconstructive surgeries. With an increasing number of women choosing to increase their breast size, the mammographer will encounter patients with breast implants more often. Problems associated with breast implants and clinical presentation will also be covered. We will also discuss the special technique required to mammographically image the augmented breasts with an emphasis on the inclusion of maximum breast tissue for the early detection of breast cancer. 1

It is our goal to provide the mammographer with informative self-study units on breast imaging. Through extensive research, we have compiled interesting and challenging information for today’s mammographer. This unit of study is intended to provide the mammographer with an overview of the various types of breast implants available to our patients. Special implant positioning techniques that are valuable for the early detection of breast cancer will also be introduced. This knowledge will result in improved patient care. This sample continuing education study unit will enable the mammographer to perform a quality mammogram on an implant patient, as well as identify clinical findings specific to breast implant.

Mammography continuing education credits and certificates are awarded after the successful completion of each course and exam. You will be given the option to print or save a copy to your computer for your records.

All mammography courses offered by RadComm have been approved by the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) for Category A Continuing Education Credits. AHRA is a Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM) and has been authorized by the ARRT to approve Category A credit.

Technologists may repeat any course for CE, if they complete it in a different biennium. Technologists using RadComm’s courses are responsible for tracking the courses they have completed on our site. RadComm assumes no responsibility for any issues arising from repeating a course(s) in the same biennium.

No, these mammography courses are approved for technologist use and award Category A credits. They have not been submitted to physician governing bodies for approval.

Yes, these courses are approved by the state of Florida and have been assigned a Florida approval number, which appears on your Certificate of Completion. All other states recognize and accept continuing education Category A credits approved by an ARRT RCEEM (Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism).

The ARRT does not have any specific CE requirements for mammography technologists. They do require that all ARRT technologists earn 24 Category A credits per biennium (every two years) to satisfy CE requirements.

As part of the 24 credits required per biennium by the ARRT, MQSA (FDA) requires 15 credits of mammography-specific continuing education every 36 months (3 years) for mammographers. To simplify the confusion, RadComm recommends that you obtain a minimum of 5 Category A credits in mammography each year to fulfill the MQSA requirement. For further clarification of these rules, please see our Rules and Regulations page.
