Two new digital breast tomosynthesis units have been approved by the FDA for clinical use in the United States in 2014 and 2015. The objective of this course is to provide the medical physicist an overview of the unique features of the GE Senoclaire and Siemens Inspriation Digital Breast Tomosynthesis systems, how to perform the required medical physics tests for acceptance testing, and review the process for submission to the FDA DBT certificate extension program. This program is designed for medical physicists who are familiar with testing GE and Siemens digital mammography systems and will build upon this knowledge.
Learning Objectives:
1. Review of Senoclaire and Inspriation Hardware and Software Features
2. Review the Medical Physicist's Required Tests
3. Review the Requirements for FDA Certificate Extension Program Submission
4. Review the Technologist QC program
