Imaging/Mammo Post-Conference | NCoBC 2026
Huntington Convention Center | Cleveland, Ohio
Monday, March 30, 2026
Earn up to 7 credits in one day

This must-attend post-conference is designed specifically for breast imaging technologists—and the leaders who support them. More than education, this is a practice-changing experience that directly impacts image quality, patient care, and team performance.
What technologists will take back to practice:
✔ Practical positioning techniques that improve image quality
✔ Stronger clinical judgment at the console
✔ Proven strategies for patient communication and experience
✔ Confidence with evolving imaging technologies
✔ Renewed professional ownership and pride
Why leaders should send their teams:
✔ More consistent, high-quality imaging
✔ Fewer errors, callbacks, and workflow disruptions
✔ Stronger alignment between technologists and radiologists
✔ Increased engagement, confidence, and retention
✔ A clear investment in frontline leadership and accountability
Departments that prioritize this learning see measurable improvements in quality, efficiency, and patient trust.
