About Mammography Jobs

Mammography is a system that produces breasts images using a low-dose x-ray system. Viewing of the images can be done in various formats such as film at a view box or on a digital mammography work station. Mammography plays an important role in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in breasts up to two years before it can be felt.

Current guidelines recommend mammography screening every year for women, beginning at age 40. However women who have had breast cancer and those who are at increased risk of breast cancer should seek expert medical advice when they should begin mammograms and about the frequency of screening.

Basic IR procedures are required.

Initial income is $450K with one year to partner if fellowship trained and 18 months to partner if not. Partners are earning close to $600K.

Benefits include: malpractice, full family medical, dental, vision and orthodontia coverage, 10 weeks vacation, 401K and profit sharing, a $5000 CME stipend and a $10K relocation package.
