FDA Approves Yet-to-be-Published ACR Digital Mammography QC Manual

For several years now, the ACR has been promising a one-size-fits-all QC program for digital mammography similar to the QC program developed in 1994 and revised in 1999 for screen-film mammography. Although the manual has not been published yet, the FDA has paved the way for its use by publishing an alternative standard permitting use of the new manual.
