Mammographers produce diagnostic images of breast tissue using special x-ray equipment.

Under the federal Mammography Quality Standards Act, mammographers must meet stringent educational and experience criteria in order to perform mammography procedures.

Breast imaging is the latest diagnostic imaging technology to offer 3-D representations of the anatomy using the advancement called digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Many mammography patients come in for routine screenings; others might have lumps or other signs of breast cancer.

As a mammographer, you’ll operate specialized equipment, obtaining images that help physicians detect breast cancer and other breast diseases in their earliest stages.
