I have over five years of experience operating state-of-the-art mammography equipment, including digital and 3D mammography systems. I am proficient in positioning patients, adjusting machine settings, and ensuring high-quality imaging. My experience also includes routine maintenance and troubleshooting to minimize downtime. I prioritize patient comfort and safety while adhering to strict imaging protocols to produce accurate diagnostic results.

I ensure patient comfort by explaining the procedure clearly, addressing concerns, and using gentle techniques during positioning. I maintain a calm and empathetic demeanor to ease anxiety. I also adjust the equipment to minimize discomfort and provide support throughout the process. By fostering trust and open communication, I create a positive experience for patients, which is essential for obtaining high-quality images.

For patients with dense breast tissue, I use advanced imaging techniques like 3D mammography to improve diagnostic accuracy. I carefully adjust exposure settings and positioning to optimize image quality. I also collaborate with radiologists to ensure thorough evaluations. My attention to detail and adaptability allow me to handle challenging cases effectively, ensuring accurate diagnoses and patient satisfaction.

I adhere to ALARA principles to minimize radiation exposure while maintaining image quality. I use lead shielding, proper collimation, and precise positioning to protect patients. I also ensure equipment is regularly calibrated and maintained. Additionally, I follow strict safety protocols and stay updated on radiation safety guidelines to ensure compliance and protect both patients and staff.

I stay current by attending industry conferences, participating in continuing education courses, and reading professional journals. I also engage in online forums and training sessions offered by equipment manufacturers. By staying informed about advancements like AI integration and 3D imaging, I ensure I provide the highest standard of care and leverage the latest technology to improve diagnostic outcomes.
