Mammographer

A Mammographer performs specialised imaging procedures to screen and diagnose breast conditions. You might work in hospitals, imaging centres, or clinics. Mammographers focus on operating mammography equipment, capturing high-quality breast images, and ensuring accurate diagnoses. You’ll work closely with radiologists to interpret images and provide essential data for patient care.

Mammographers play a crucial role in early breast cancer detection and patient health. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and empathetic, with strong technical and communication skills. You’ll interact with patients to explain procedures, provide comfort, and ensure they receive the highest standard of care throughout their imaging experience.
