Problem Statement

Mammography positioning is variable and inconsistent, possibly leading to missed diagnosis of cancer.

How the Collaborative Works

Each facility forms an interdisciplinary project team consisting of four to six members who participate in the ACR® ImPower Program, alongside a cohort of colleagues from other institutions. Together, these teams will receive quality improvement (QI) education and utilize QI tools to identify and test ways to improve mammography positioning.

Suggested team members:

  • Radiologist with a breast imaging clinical focus.
  • Mammography supervisor or manager.
  • Mammography technologist.
