Mammography Technologists operate a mammography unit to produce images of the breasts for diagnostic purposes directed by a physician. They explain the procedure to patients, position and immobilize the patient’s breast in the unit, and observe the scanning process. This involves monitoring the video display of the area being scanned and adjusting the density or contrast to improve picture quality. Mammography Technologists then review and evaluate the film or image recording plate to determine if the images are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes. Throughout this entire process, Mammography Technologists use radiation safety measures and protection devices to comply with government regulations and to ensure the safety of patients and caregivers.
By taking on this role, you will help to reduce delays in diagnosis in support of best possible outcomes. Here, you will have the chance to grow your skills with each interaction and have access to growth courses in leadership, giving you another avenue in which to thrive.
