If you are looking for a fully accredited Mammography program, you need to look no further than East Georgia Regional Medical Center.  We are accredited by both the American College of Radiology (ACR) and MSQA (Mammography Quality Standards Act), the FDA's federal accreditation program.  Accreditation means you can rest assured knowing that your mammogram will be performed by a licensed radiographer and the mammography equipment meets all the requirements set forth by the ACR and FDA.

Our state-of-the-art equipment is regularly checked for accuracy and is used only for mammography.  Our technologists perform required daily, weekly and monthly quality control tests.  To assure the highest quality images possible, "phantom" tests are regularly performed and a radiation physicist is hired annually to conduct quality tests to assure low-dose exposure.  The equipment is also tested each year for compliance by the State of Georgia.

East Georgia Regional Medical Center's mammography department utilizes private, one-on-one consultations and exams with qualified female technologists.  Having complelted a two-year radiological technology program, each technologist is registered with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).  They also have ARRT Mammography Certification.  Each technologist must perform at least 200 mammography examinations in a 24 month period and earn 15 continuing education credits in a 36 month period.

From the equipment to the technologists to the radiologists, East Georgia Regional Medical Center's Mammography team goes above and beyond the call of duty to meet all ACR, state and federal requirements and your expectations.
