Mammographer Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a mammographer in Virginia?
Mammographers in Virginia must hold ARRT certification, either through the primary Radiography pathway or the post-primary Mammography credential, and must comply with federal MQSA requirements enforced by the FDA. Virginia does not issue a separate state mammography license, so ARRT certification and MQSA-compliant training are the hiring standards across the state. An associate degree or certificate in radiologic technology from an accredited program is the standard educational foundation.
How much do mammographers make in Virginia?
Mammographers in Virginia earn a median of about $80,670 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,000 for the lowest 10% to over $106,170 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire mammographers in Virginia?
Employers hiring mammographers in Virginia right now include Riverside Health, Fairfax Radiology Centers, and Reston Hospital Center - Reston, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Large integrated health systems with multiple Virginia campuses tend to post the most consistent openings, particularly as they expand dedicated breast health and women's imaging centers.
Which Virginia cities have the most mammographer jobs?
Newport News, Reston, and Fairfax have the most mammographer openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia benefits from its proximity to dense population centers and large hospital networks like Inova, while Richmond's concentration of academic medical centers and outpatient facilities drives consistent demand, and Virginia Beach reflects Sentara's regional presence anchoring the Hampton Roads imaging market.
How can I get hired as a mammographer in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a radiologic technology program and then pursuing the ARRT Mammography post-primary credential while applying to mammography tech trainee or radiographer roles at large Virginia systems. Inova, Sentara, and VCU Health periodically offer structured onboarding for new graduates that includes mammography rotation hours. Coming from a general radiographer or ultrasound technologist position is a common lateral move that gives candidates a practical edge in Virginia hiring.
