Mammographer Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a mammographer in Pennsylvania?
To work as a mammographer in Pennsylvania, you must first hold an active radiologic technology license issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Radiation Protection. That requires completing an accredited radiologic technology program and passing the ARRT radiography examination. Most Pennsylvania employers then require the ARRT Mammography specialty certification, which you can pursue after gaining clinical experience, before working independently in a breast imaging unit.
How much do mammographers make in Pennsylvania?
Mammographers in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $76,050 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $56,430 for the lowest 10% to over $97,740 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire mammographers in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring mammographers in Pennsylvania right now include UPMC and WellSpan Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems, particularly those with dedicated breast health centers and ACR-accredited facilities, generate the most consistent openings across the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most mammographer jobs?
Hanover, Pittsburgh, and Washington have the most mammographer openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia drives the largest share given its concentration of academic medical centers and specialty breast imaging programs, while Pittsburgh's demand is anchored by UPMC's regional network, and smaller metro areas like Allentown reflect Lehigh Valley Health Network's significant outpatient imaging footprint.
Are there remote mammographer jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of mammographer openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, which reflects how hands-on the role is by nature. The portions of the work most likely to be performed remotely are image reading support, quality assurance review, or teleradiology coordination roles attached to a mammography program rather than the direct patient-facing scanning itself.
How can I get hired as a mammographer in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying as a registered radiologic technologist and cross-training into mammography through an employer-sponsored orientation program. Large Pennsylvania systems including UPMC and Penn Medicine regularly hire new radiographers into general imaging roles and provide internal mammography training pathways. Completing the ARRT Mammography Equipment Operator qualification and volunteering for breast imaging rotations during your radiography program will put you ahead of other candidates without dedicated mammography experience.
Where can I find and apply to mammographer jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to mammographer jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings from hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and health systems across the state. Find the roles that fit your credentials and availability, then apply directly to the employer.
