title: Quality mammography standards--FDA. Proposed rule.
abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations governing mammography that published in a document entitled "Quality Mammography Standards." The purpose of these amendments is to eliminate a conflict between the mammography regulations, which must be followed by all facilities performing mammography, and FDA's Electronic Product Radiation Control (EPRC) performance standards, which establish radiation safety performance requirements for x-ray units, including mammographic systems.
