Mammographer/Mammography Technician

Womens health screening programs have made the mammographer one of the most in demand health professionals, because all women are encouraged to have a yearly screening procedure for breast cancer after the age of forty. The mammographer specialises in imaging techniques used in this screening procedure, using radiological imaging to help the physician to identify high risk patients and often assisting in biopsies with ultrasound technology. The mammographer takes part in stereotactic breast biopsies, needle localizations and other advanced diagnostic tests, and sometimes carries out screening in related areas of womens health such as DEXA scans for osteoporosis. He works in hospital screening clinics, in private screening facilities or sometimes in mobile screening units visiting remote communities.
