preting radiologists, mammography technologists, and the medical physicist meetthe initial qualifications and maintain the continuing education and experiencerequired by the MQSA regulations. Records must be maintained of employee qualifications,quality assurance, and the physicist's tests. Clinical performance andquality control issues should be periodically reviewed with the entire mammographystaff.The technologist performs the actual examinations, i.e., patient positioning,compression, image acquisition, and film processing. The technologist also performsthe daily, weekly, monthly, and semiannual quality control tests. The medicalphysicist is responsible for equipment performance measurements before first clinicaluse, annually thereafter, and following repairs, and for oversight of the qualitycontrol program performed by the technologist.American College of Radiology.
