Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking a per diem mammography technologist in Palo Alto: 1⁄2 day (morning), 1x/week or 1x/month at $100/hr (flexibility on the day, but not weekends), with an option for 2 mornings/wk or 2 mornings/month. Great for a technologist seeking extra hours.

An excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow their skills with a patient radiologist or a seasoned technologist who wants a more relaxed atmosphere.

Per Diem or part-time is welcome. We need 1 or 2 days/week or month during morning hours, with flexibility based on the technologist's preferred day of the week and number of days. Ideal for:

• A newly graduated technologist looking to gain hands-on experience and build confidence in a supportive setting.
• An experienced technologist who already has another position but would like to work a few additional hours on a day off.
• A semi-retired technologist who enjoys the work and would like to continue practicing on a more limited, flexible schedule.

Responsibilities

• Perform screening and diagnostic digital mammography examinations with a strong focus on image quality and patient care.
• Take the time necessary to properly position patients and obtain optimal diagnostic images without the pressure of high-volume imaging.
• Explain procedures clearly and compassionately, answer patient questions, and help patients feel comfortable throughout the examination.
• Provide a professional, respectful, and reassuring experience during sensitive breast imaging examinations.
• Operate mammography equipment safely and effectively while following established protocols and quality standards.
• Maintain appropriate radiation safety practices for patients, staff, and yourself.
• Review images for positioning, quality, and technical adequacy before completing examinations.
• Maintain accurate patient records and documentation in accordance with applicable regulations and facility policies.
• Perform routine equipment checks and report any equipment concerns appropriately.
• Work collaboratively with physicians and other healthcare professionals to support excellent patient care.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional imaging environment.

Qualifications & Skills

• ARRT certification in Mammography (RT(R)(M)) or equivalent qualifications as required.
• Current state licensure/registration as applicable.
• Mammography experience preferred.
• Strong knowledge of mammographic positioning, image acquisition, and quality standards.
• Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality diagnostic images.
• Compassionate and professional approach to patient care.
• Strong understanding of radiation safety principles and mammography protocols.
• Ability to work independently and manage the schedule effectively.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• DEXA experience is a plus but not required.

Why This Position Is Different

• Extremely low patient volume
• Quality-focused environment — no need to rush
• Technologists are encouraged to take their time and do their best work
• Highly flexible scheduling
• Per diem option available

If you are a skilled Mammography Technologist who takes pride in excellent imaging, thoughtful patient care, and attention to detail, we would love to hear from you.
