  • PROGRAM DETAIL
  • Subject Mammographic Positioning Program for Technologists

  • BACKGROUND AND RATIONAL
  • In Thailand, the use of mammography combined with ultrasound for breast cancer screening has increased significantly due to greater awareness, and improved access. This has resulted in increased early-stage detection rates, which benefit patients because early-stage treatment is more effective than late treatment. One of the main challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in Thailand is the shortage of specialized technologists who can effectively perform mammograms. To address the issue, the center is determined to enhance interested technologists' capabilities in breast cancer treatment in Thailand with the ultimate goal of protecting Thai women from breast cancer.
