The Role
What you'll do on assignment.
As a travel mammography technologist, you perform screening and diagnostic breast imaging using 2D digital mammography, 3D tomosynthesis, and stereotactic biopsy equipment. Your positioning accuracy and technical skill directly impact early cancer detection and patient outcomes.
Travel mammo assignments typically place you in breast centers, hospital radiology departments, or mobile mammography units. You may perform screening exams, diagnostic workups, and image-guided biopsy procedures while ensuring MQSA compliance at every step.
Because Cuready understands imaging professionals, your recruiter knows the difference between a high-volume screening van and a comprehensive breast center. They match you to assignments that align with your equipment experience and clinical preferences.

Training & Education
Your path to the field.
From radiography foundations to breast imaging specialization — what the professional journey looks like for mammography technology.
Your recruiter knows this pathway.
Because Cuready is built by healthcare professionals, we understand what each credential means and how to match your training to the right assignments.
Mammography technologists begin with a JRCERT-accredited radiography program, then complete additional mammography-specific training including breast anatomy, positioning techniques, quality control, and MQSA regulatory requirements.
The primary credential is ARRT (M) — Mammography post-primary certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. MQSA requires documented continuing education and minimum annual case volumes to maintain clinical competency.
