- 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.

- Ensure all procedures, patient information, and images are properly logged into the hospital’s Electronic Health Records (EHR) system.
Collaboration with Medical Team:

- 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.
