The mammogram is a non-invasive procedure that assists in the detection of breast cancer. Individuals who successfully complete this program are eligible to take the ARRT Mammography registry exam. Because of the nature of clinical experiences and individualized instruction in this certificate, and specialized technology and the equipment necessary to offer this certificate, a higher tuition rate is assessed for career-specific courses.
