A Mammography Technician (Mammo Tech) is a specialized radiologic technologist who operates mammography equipment to perform diagnostic imaging procedures for detecting breast abnormalities. These images, known as mammograms , help to screen for breast cancer and other breast-related conditions. Mammography Technicians are trained to perform the procedure, ensure patient comfort, maintain a high standard of image quality, and assist in patient care throughout the process.

Key Responsibilities :

Performing Mammograms :

  • Position and prepare patients for mammography exams, ensuring they are comfortable and properly positioned.
  • Operate mammography equipment to capture clear, accurate images of the breast tissue.
  • Ensure proper compression of the breast during imaging to obtain the best possible images while minimizing discomfort for the patient.
  • Assist patients with undressing and putting on a gown, as well as positioning the breast for imaging.
  • Perform digital mammograms and, if necessary, additional views to obtain complete images of the breast.
  • Patient Care and Comfort :

  • Greet patients and explain the procedure, answering any questions to alleviate anxiety.
  • Educate patients on the importance of mammograms, helping them understand the process and ensuring they know what to expect.
  • Reassure patients during the exam, maintaining a calm and empathetic demeanor.
  • Monitor patients for discomfort or any issues during the procedure and adjust accordingly.
  • Quality Control and Image Evaluation :

  • Review mammograms for clarity and completeness, ensuring the images meet diagnostic standards.
  • Ensure that images are free from artifacts or distortions that could hinder diagnosis.
  • Work closely with radiologists to ensure that high-quality images are produced and evaluate whether additional views or retakes are necessary.
  • Assist in conducting breast ultrasound or stereotactic biopsy procedures if needed to further investigate abnormalities found in mammograms.
  • Equipment Maintenance and Safety :

  • Ensure proper operation of mammography equipment, troubleshooting any technical issues as needed.
  • Perform routine maintenance and cleaning of the equipment, following safety protocols and manufacturer guidelines.
  • Follow safety standards for radiation protection to minimize patient and staff exposure.
  • Ensure the machine is calibrated and functioning correctly to provide optimal images.
  • Record Keeping and Documentation :

  • Maintain patient records, including medical history, previous mammogram results, and details of the current exam.
  • Document relevant patient information, such as imaging results, positioning, and any special instructions or requests from the physician.
  • Ensure all procedures, patient information, and images are properly logged into the hospital’s Electronic Health Records (EHR) system.
  • Collaboration with Medical Team :

  • Communicate effectively with radiologists and physicians regarding images that may require further attention or additional imaging.
  • Assist in explaining test results to patients, helping them understand what comes next in the process if further evaluation or follow-up is needed.
  • Work closely with the healthcare team to ensure continuity of care for the patient, especially if abnormal results are found.
  • Adherence to Safety and Regulatory Standards :

  • Ensure compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations regarding patient privacy and confidentiality.
  • Follow all radiation safety protocols to protect both patients and staff from unnecessary exposure.
  • Adhere to American College of Radiology (ACR) and FDA guidelines for mammography procedures and safety.
  • Patient Education :

  • Provide patients with post-exam care instructions and answer any questions regarding the results, follow-up, or potential next steps.
  • Educate patients on the importance of regular mammograms and breast health, including self-examination and lifestyle factors that affect breast health.
  • Magnet Medical Job ID #35035952. Pay package is based on 8 hour shifts and 40.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined. Posted job title : Tech - Mammo Tech
