MAMMOGRAPHY


Mammography is an advanced level specialty imaging procedure. It deals with the use of radiographs for diagnostic and screening purposes for the detection of breast cancer. The growth of Mammography over the last decade can be attributed to the ability to detect the unsuspected breast mass with quality screening mammograms.

The program is designed to include both online and clinical applications to prepare students to use xrays to produce mammograms for diagnostic and screening purposes. The certificate courses are sequenced so the registered radiographer can take the nine credit hour courses and obtain knowledge of basic mammography and clinical applications. The didactic courses will be taught online and whenever possible, clinical sites near you will be used for the competency based clinical applications course.
