National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee

The National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee is a group that provides expert advice to improve the quality of mammogram screenings, which are X-ray images used to detect breast cancer. They help set standards and guidelines for how mammograms should be performed, ensuring that imaging centers deliver accurate, consistent, and high-quality results. This helps detect breast issues early, leading to better treatment outcomes. The committee also recommends programs for training and verifying the skills of technicians and radiologists, ultimately protecting patients and enhancing the effectiveness of breast cancer screening nationwide.
