Miami-Dade medical center ordered to stop mammograms due to inaccurate results

Federal regulators say patients who had mammograms at a South Florida hospital over the past two years may have received inaccurate results and should be retested.

THE The Miami Herald The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ordered North Shore Medical Center in North Miami-Dade to stop performing mammograms after a review found the images did not meet quality standards.

The mammograms in question were performed between March 2022 and March 2024.

North Shore says patients should speak to their doctor as soon as possible to discuss re-evaluating the images and possibly having a repeat exam.

The hospital recently suffered financial cutbacks and staff layoffs after its owner, Steward Health Care, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May to reduce its debt.
