Description

Medical imaging (MI) is a critical service that underpins the care journey for many who enter the healthcare system. The subspecialty of Breast Imaging (BI) represents a complex and multi-modality MI setting with a well-defined role in the healthcare system. BI holds great potential as a setting to consider opportunities for a medical radiation technologist's (MRT) current role to be modified and leveraged to fulfill novel and advanced roles to optimize patient-centered service.
