  • Beyond The Mammogram: Emerging Trends in Breast Imaging

Breast imaging is advancing rapidly, bringing new technologies, updated practices, and expanding responsibilities for mammography technologists. Staying informed is essential—not only for producing quality images, but also for supporting patients and contributing to an effective breast-imaging team. 

Beyond the Mammogram: Emerging Trends in Breast Imaging examines the developments shaping the future of breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Participants will explore evolving screening practices, breast density and individualized risk, BI-RADS updates, artificial intelligence, contrast-enhanced mammography, and other emerging technologies. 

Throughout the course, each topic is considered from a practical perspective: What is changing, why is it changing, and what does it mean for the mammography technologist? Designed for professionals who want to look beyond routine image acquisition, this course connects industry developments with the technologist’s changing role in image quality, patient care, clinical workflow, and the future of breast imaging.
