Students in this course will be assigned to an accredited mammography facility offering a full range of women’s health services. Emphasis will be placed on breast cancer detection technologies including mammography and stereotactic localization. Additionally, students will learn the procedural skills of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Students should expect to develop entry-level skills necessary in a contemporary Women’s Imaging department and in doing so, will begin preparation for certification in mammography and DXA scanning.
