Mammographer Jobs in San Luis Obispo, CA

A Mammographer is a specialized radiologic technologist who plays a critical role in the radiology field. They operate mammography machines to produce diagnostic images of breast tissue, aiding in the early detection of breast diseases, primarily breast cancer.

Essential skills include attention to detail, manual dexterity, strong communication skills, and the ability to comfort and reassure patients. Before becoming a Mammographer, a person might have experience as a Radiologic Technologist, Radiology Technician, or X-Ray Technician.
