Abstract
Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) systems are rapidly gaining in popularity and are replacing conventional film‐screen mammography (FSM) systems in breast centers throughout the country. Radiolgists are faced with unique challenges brought about by this transition of technology.In this lecture, the utility of full field digital mammography in clinical practice will be presented. Some of the challenges faced by radiologists who have transitioned from film screen mammography to digital mammography will also be discussed, and case examples illustrating the utility of FFDM will be presented. The clinical utility of computer‐aided detection (CAD) software packages will also be addressed.Learning objectives:1. Understand the clinical impact that full‐field digital mammography has had on the daily practice of breast imaging.2. Recognize the advantages and disadvantages of FFDM systems.3. Understand some of the challenges that breast imagers face when transitioning from FSM to FFDM systems.4. Understand how computer‐aided detection (CAD) systems are used in clinical practice.
