Mammographer

Mammographers perform an incredibly important job. They perform screening and diagnostic exams of the breast, aiding in the early detection of breast cancer and saving thousands of lives each year. Mammographers make a clear and invaluable contribution to breast health on a daily basis.

Skill and careful attention to detail is imperative in achieving an optimal mammogram image. The mammography technologist must work with the radiologist as a team in considering many factors important to breast imaging. The responsibilities of the mammographer include such things as equipment adjustment, patient positioning, and providing adequate radiation protection.

The mammographer must have a thorough understanding of radiation principles and have the knowledge required to produce quality diagnostic images with safety in mind. He or she should have a genuine interest in working with people and have good communication skills. In performing job duties, the mammographer is called on to apply acquired knowledge in a range of principles, from anatomy and physiology to patient care and related technology.
