It is a fully equipped Screening Unit with 4 new FFDM units, 2 with stereotactic capability and tomosynthesis, one of which also has contrast-enhanced spectral mammography. There are 2 ultrasound units. Two FFDM-equipped mobile units provide screening for clients at other sites within the Trust.

Screening MRI is undertaken in the Imaging Centre adjacent to the Breast Centre. Our client actively participates in audit and research and is currently undertaking clinical trials involving Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, and breast MRI.

This is a replacement post, and both full and part-time hours will be considered. The successful candidate will have experience in breast imaging in both screening and symptomatic settings.
