In a small group setting, this one-day course will focus on building skills for performing quality control testing on Hologic digital mammography and diagnostic workstations. General session lectures will provide the fundamentals to guide participants as they work through the independent and hands-on portions of the curriculum. Completion of the course will provide the MQSA required 8 hours of training in FFDM for medical physicists.
