Iterative interim techniques for reduced costs and a better mammography workstation: an opinion

The promise of digital mammography has focused considerable resources on the challenges of mammography workstations, but the risk of wasted time and resources in such efforts is very high. Although final testing of the workstation's image quality and ergonomics is common, a number of interim evaluation and refinement techniques can be applied throughout the design and development process. The use of such techniques holds potential not only to save time and money but also to produce a superior workstation.
