Description

Early breast cancer detection can be achieved by enforcing the quality of mammography screening program. Hence, proper breast positioning is necessary. Systematic education of radiographers on mammographic positioning is a prerequisite for obtaining high-quality mammograms. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of self-evaluation and education of radiographers involved in a breast cancer screening program.
