Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA)

The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) is a U.S. law that sets strict standards for facilities that perform mammograms, which are important for detecting breast cancer. Enforced by the FDA, the MQSA ensures that mammography services meet specific quality and safety requirements. This includes regular inspections, proper training for technicians, and accurate reporting of results. The goal of the MQSA is to improve the quality of mammography services and ensure that women receive safe, effective screening and diagnostic services for breast health.
