SCREEN-TRIAL: Softcopy Reading in European Screening Mammography

  • Conference paper
Digital Mammography

Abstract

Reading digital or digitized mammograms from computer monitors is called softcopy reading. Softcopy reading is the only way to fully exploit the diagnostic, logistic and financial benefits of the direct digital acquisition of mammographic images. We focus here on high-volume reading in breast care centers and in population-based screening mammography as it is practiced in the nationwide screening mammography programs in some European countries. Development, evaluation and demonstration of high-volume softcopy reading, is the objective of the SCREEN and SCREEN-TRIAL projects, funded by the European Commission.
