I’d worry less about the performance of the mammography than about the read of the actual image. The actual mechanics of performing the mammography, while important, are less important than having a well-qualified radiologist. A good radiologist will know both whether the mammography was set up correctly in the first place just by looking at the image (and will re-order another one if not), and whether it’s being read and interpreted correctly.
