Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) was formed in 1989 to fill the need for quality education for technologists in medical imaging. In the 1990s, as the need for cross-training grew, MTMI grew by adding cross-training in mammography, MRI, CT, ultrasound, bone densitometry and picture archive and communication systems (PACS) education.
By 1992, MTMI’s “Initial Training in Mammography” course was the first course to be accepted by the FDA to meet the Mammography Quality Standards Acts (MQSA) in the United States. As the company grew, courses were added for medical physicists and physicians.
TechNation learned more about MTMI in a recent question-and-answer interview with Steve Cushman, MTMI Senior Director of Marketing.
