Content includes essential radiation physics, mammography safety, Quality Assurance (QA) principles and tests, compassionate care, and special considerations regarding future advancements and improvements in the field.

Did you know?

Breast compression, a key part of modern mammography, was developed to reduce radiation exposure, not just to get clearer images. In the 1950s, a radiologist in Uruguay, Raul Leborgne, developed the compression technique, and his method is still used today.
