Mammography

Mammography uses dedicated, low-dose X-ray equipment, to obtain images of the breast to assist in the diagnosis of breast cancer and other breast diseases.

This is available to women through the Breastscreen Program and in Diagnostic Imaging facilities in both Public and Private Imaging Departments. Students in the third year of the Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences course are given an understanding of the imaging process, the anatomy and pathology of the breast and an insight into the highly specialized communication and interpersonal skills required when dealing with both male and female patients and the diagnosis of breast disease.
