 teven Permutter, MD, Faculty Attending/ Mammographer and Director of Winthrop's Mammography service, was instrumental in facilitating Winthrop's timely compliance with the recently enacted Mammogram Quality Standards Act (MQSA), a federal law, effective April 28, 1999, requiring that each mammography patient receive an official written report, in easy to understand language, communicating the outcome of her mammogram. Previously, Winthrop's mammographers immediately advised patients verbally of their status. Now, patients also receive accompanying documentation. The more detailed imaging report will continue to be sent to the patient's referring physician.
