Background: This study evaluated mammography performance at the Garoua Regional Hospital in Cameroon. Methodology: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional design and a consecutive non-probabilistic sampling of 25 female patients. The data collection and analysis focused on patient identification, examination request, technique, success criteria, and diagnoses of mammography. The study also considered the ethical and regulatory aspects of the research. Results: The main results showed that mastodynia was the most common indication (44%), heterogeneous fatty was the most common breast density (36%), compression level was adequate in most cases (76%), image quality was poor due to blackening (72%), symmetry and nipple clearance were the least met success criteria (52% and 64%, respectively), normal and nodule were the most common diagnoses (36% and 24%, respectively), and ACR 4 was the most common classification (36%). Conclusion: The study aimed to improve mammography practice and patient care by identifying the factors that affected image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
