What You Should Know about Mammograms

Welcome to A Couple of Rad Techs Radiology Podcast, where we bring you an inside look at the world of radiology, from the unique perspective of a married couple of radiologic technologists.
 
We know that as a woman over 50, you may have concerns and questions about your breast health, and that's why we're here to provide you with the essential information you need to know before scheduling your mammogram.

Mammograms are a crucial diagnostic tool for detecting breast cancer early, and we believe that every woman should prioritize regular mammograms as part of their preventative healthcare routine. In this episode, we will discuss what mammograms are, how they work, and what to expect during the procedure.

We'll also address common misconceptions and concerns about mammograms, such as the fear of pain, radiation exposure, and false-positive results. By providing accurate information and dispelling myths, we hope to encourage more women to prioritize their breast health and get regular mammograms.

In addition to discussing mammograms, we'll also touch on other aspects of breast health, such as breast self-exams, risk factors for breast cancer, and when to seek medical attention. We'll also share some tips and resources to help you make it a regular practice to schedule your mammograms.

Our guest speaker, Robyn Graham, a podcast host and doctor of physical therapy, and she will provide her personal insights and answer frequently asked questions about her experience with getting her yearly mammograms. She will also share how she helps her listeners manage anxiety and more!

Finally, we'll wrap up the episode with some practical advice for women who may be nervous or hesitant about getting a mammogram. We'll provide tips on how to prepare for the appointment, how to manage discomfort during the procedure, and how to stay calm and positive while waiting for results.

We hope that by listening to this episode,! Thanks for tuning in, and we hope you enjoy the episode!

About the Podcast

A Couple of Rad Techs Podcast
Career growth, stories, and motivation for radiology and medical imaging professionals.
Welcome to A Couple of Rad Techs Podcast — the show that proves medical imaging isn’t just a “side hustle” of healthcare. It’s a career, a calling, and a community.

If you’re a radiology technologist, MRI or CT specialist, nuclear medicine tech, student in medical imaging, or a healthcare professional who wants to better understand what happens behind the scanner, you’re in the right place.

Too often, the radiology field gets overlooked or misunderstood. People think technologists just “push buttons” or stand in the shadows of doctors. But anyone who’s been in the profession knows it’s so much more than that. From patient safety and advanced imaging skills to navigating burnout, career pivots, and real human connection — this field requires heart, intelligence, and resilience.

That’s exactly what this podcast is about.

Hosted by Chaundria Singleton, a multi-modality technologist (MRI, CT, X-ray) with over 20 years in the field, former college MRI instructor, and top 5% podcaster, A Couple of Rad Techs gives you the motivation, resources, and perspective you need to thrive in this career and beyond.

Each week you’ll hear:
*Career growth strategies to help you move beyond burnout and into your next opportunity.
*Stories from the imaging room that show what technologists really do behind the scenes.
*Motivational episodes that remind you why this career matters and how to keep going even on tough days.
*Industry insights and guest experts who share the latest in imaging, education, and healthcare culture.

Whether you’re just starting your journey as a student, pivoting into a new modality, or a seasoned technologist looking for inspiration, you’ll find a mix of honesty, encouragement, and actionable advice here.

This isn’t a podcast about the science of radiology — it’s about the people. The real lives of technologists. The challenges, the triumphs, the laughter, and the lessons that rarely make it into textbooks or training manuals.

By listening, you’ll:
* Feel more connected to a community that understands your world.
* Gain confidence in your career path and next steps.
* Get practical tools to handle burnout, stress, and workplace challenges.
* Discover opportunities you didn’t even know existed in medical imaging.
* Be reminded that what you do every day in healthcare truly matters.

So, if you’ve ever felt unseen in your profession, if you’ve ever wondered what’s next in your career, or if you simply want to hear real conversations from people who get it — hit play.

Because in this podcast, we don’t just talk about radiology. We talk about the life, the growth, and the human side of being a radiology professional.

Subscribe today and join thousands of technologists, students, and healthcare pros who are finding motivation, career insight, and community every week on A Couple of Rad Techs Podcast.
