Certified Imaging Informatics Professional (CIIP) Practice Exam

The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of the MQSA is to ensure that women have access to safe, high-quality mammography services. The FDA oversees the certification of facilities performing mammography, establishing and enforcing quality standards to ensure that these facilities provide accurate and reliable mammograms. This includes regular inspections and compliance checks to help maintain the standards set forth in the act.

The other organizations mentioned, such as the CDC, WHO, and NIH, play important roles in public health and research, but they are not directly responsible for the regulation of mammography services under the MQSA. The CDC focuses on disease control and prevention, the WHO deals with international public health issues, and the NIH conducts and supports medical research. Their missions do not encompass the specific regulatory oversight of mammography practices, which is distinctly the domain of the FDA.
