How are Mammography Facilities Inspected?
Certified inspectors of mammography facilities carefully: • Determine the radiation dose for the standard breast • Assess the mammography image quality • Evaluate the quality of the facility’s film processing • Review the facility’s medical reports, lay summaries, and medical audits to assure that the facility’s procedures meet the requirements • Review the facility’s quality assurance and quality control records • Test the facility’s dark room for unsafe ambient light that can affect mammography image quality
