SUMMARY:Quality Bone Densitometry For Technologists (livestream via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Quality Bone Densitometry: Performance\, Interpretation\, and Clinical Application for Technologists\nAn Osteoporosis Essentials Course of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry & International Osteoporosis Foundation \nThe core elements of this program focus on performing quality DXA scans\, dissecting the data and applying this knowledge to a technologist’s role in patient care. This course\, which focuses on quality DXA\, is innovative\, interactive and informative. The course emphasizes technical excellence in the performance\, analysis\, and troubleshooting of bone densitometry scans. The course will provide standard practices and applications to raise the quality of DXA scan procedures and their impact on patient care. This is achieved by enhancing awareness of the technical expertise involved in performing bone densitometry and applying protocols to address everyday challenges. The course focuses on the considerable impact that a technologist plays in the delivery of quality DXA\, and how that influences patient management. \nPrerequisite and Optional videos are included in the registration fees. Access to that content will be made available to registered participants 30 days prior to the course start date through the ISCD online education portal. \n[efsbutton style=”” size=”” color_class=”” align=”left” type=”link” target=”false” title=”Learn more and register” link=”https://learn.iscd.org/products/february-2024-quality-bone-densitometry-performance-interpretation-and-clinical-application-for-technologists”]
