Abstract
In our institution double reading of screening mammo-grams with arbitration by consensus was introduced in January 2000. Discordant double reading opinions are discussed at a weekly arbitration meeting that all screen readers attend and a decision is made as to whether the patient should be recalled to assessment or returned to routine screening. To date, there is little known about the outcome of arbitrated cases that are returned to routine screening. We aim to identify the number of breast cancer cases that subsequently developed at the arbitrated site that were returned to routine screening at the arbitration meeting and to determine the mammographic and pathological features of these cancers.
Highlights
The aim of the study was to assess real life reader performance as a function of volume of mammograms read in a large multicentre cohort
This study examined the effect of arbitration of indeterminate mammograms only following consensus decision to recall
The data demonstrated that participants were as able to identify abnormalities without the need of using image enhancement manipulations as they were with them (P > 0.5)
Summary
The aim of the study was to assess real life reader performance as a function of volume of mammograms read in a large multicentre cohort. The standard technique for surgical excision of mammographically detected, ultrasound invisible, non-palpable breast lesions is by pre-operative stereotactic guidewire localization (SGL). Methods Between September 2007 and June 2009, 15 patients with mammographically detected, non-palpable, ultrasound invisible breast lesions had VACB followed by HUGL We compared this technique with 15 consecutive patients who underwent SGL. This study was performed to compare the ipsilateral post-operative mammography findings, frequency of ultrasound and image-guided biopsy post-TM with a group of women who had undergone wide local excision (WLE). Methods Between August 2004 and March 2009, 41 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) were retrospectively identified from the screen-detected cases of microcalcifications who underwent stereotactic WBN biopsy with a 14g automated device The histology from these cases was compared with the post-surgery histology
