Abstract
Both diagnostic and therapeutic applications of stereotactic mammography will be discussed. An overview of the American College of Radiology's Breast Biopsy Accreditation Program will be presented along with the recommendations of the associated ACR Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Quality Control Manual. Patient dose issues will be covered, including manufacturer recommendations for image receptor exposure levels, guidance for establishing a technique chart for 512 and 1024 images, and advice on identification of over‐ and under‐exposed images, and the influence of kVp and mAs on dose and image quality. The application of stereotactic digital imaging to interstitial breast brachytherapy will be discussed. Educational Objectives: 1. Review ACR Accreditation recommendations for QC testing of stereotactic breast biopsy units. 2. Become familiar with recognizing proper exposure levels and with setting up technique charts for appropriate image quality. 3. Become familiar with the application of stereotactic digital image to interstitial breast brachytherapy.
