Digital imaging began with several single steps taken by many. Like most new technologies, failures and roadblocks often accompanied each step forward toward computer applications in radiology. Digital mammography has been used as a tool for breast cancer detection and diagnosis since the early 1990s and it has the potential to overcome the known limitations of screen film mammography. The greatest advantage of digital mammography is that the steps of recording, displaying, and archiving an image are decoupled, providing the radiologist and mammographer the opportunity to optimize each task independently. The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to the basics of digital mammography. Technical aspects of recording, displaying and archiving a digital image are explained. Terminology related to digital mammography is presented and explained within the context of producing high quality breast images. Other topics presented include patient communication, breast positioning, and radiation protection in mammography and quality improvement in breast imaging. The course contains a reading reference titled Digital Mammography: The Basics and a posttest with 90 multiple-choice questions. The course applies to mammographers and radiographers both RT's and limited radiographers.
