Mammography
Q: Is mammography reliable?
Dr. Donnica: The answer
is yes. In 1992, the US Congress passed the Mammography Quality Standards Act
to ensure that mammography performed at more than 10,000 facilities in our country
is of high quality and is reliable. **Recommended resources: (Free Stuff!)
