Breast Cancer in Younger Women (1 CEU)

Sarah Jacobs, B.S., R.T.(R)(M)(CT)

This course examines the unique challenges of breast cancer in younger women, from incidence and mortality trends to screening and diagnostic recommendations. Led by Sarah Jacobs, RTRM, participants will review current statistics, imaging options, and best-practice guidelines to support confident clinical decision-making and enhanced patient care.

Dense Breasts, Clear Decisions: Navigating Supplemental Screening Options with confidence (1.25 CEUs)

Ashley Huppe, MD

Breast density significantly influences both cancer risk assessment and the effectiveness of mammographic screening, yet it is often misunderstood by patients and providers. This course reviews the impact of dense breast tissue on cancer detection, interval cancers, and overall screening outcomes. Dr. Ashley Huppe examines current evidence-based recommendations for supplemental screening—including ultrasound, MRI, and ABUS—while comparing the strengths and limitations of each modality. Participants will gain practical guidance to support personalized, patient-centered screening decisions.

This interactive, case-based course unites the perspectives of Dr. Destounis and Louise Miller, R.T.(R)(M), to explore image quality evaluation, additional view decision-making, and best practices for complex screening and diagnostic exams. Participants will develop practical tools for repeat/reject criteria, protocol standardization, and improved workflow to support high-quality patient care.

The Mammography Technologist's Guide to the Diagnostic Workup (1 CEU)

Sarah Jacobs, B.S., R.T.(R)(M)(CT)

Diagnostic mammography can be challenging for patients and technologists alike. This course focuses on strengthening the diagnostic work-up process by teaching technologists how to present cases clearly and consistently to interpreting radiologists. Participants will examine how presentation variability can contribute to misinformation and potential errors, and learn standardized terminology and practical strategies to improve communication, efficiency, and patient outcomes.

Understanding the Breast Biopsy Journey: What Every Mammographer Should Know (1.25 CEUs)

Kristen A. Zarfos, MD, FACS

This course prepares mammography technologists to support patients after a breast biopsy with knowledge and confidence. Dr. Kristen Zarfos reviews how results are communicated, what pathology findings mean, expected follow-up care, and the physical and emotional experiences patients may encounter. Learners will also examine treatment pathways for malignant diagnoses and strategies for effective, empathetic communication.
