At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to: 

1. Identify the anatomical boundaries and essential structures of the breast, including the functional unit (TDLU) and lymphatic drainage patterns. 

2. Describe the requirements for positioning standard mammography views (CC and MLO), ensuring optimal coverage of the posterior nipple line (PNL) within ACR standards.
