Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) generates large datasets, posing significant storage challenges in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS).
  • Efficient data management is crucial for the effective implementation and scalability of digital mammography services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design, implement, and evaluate a FFDM crop tool to reduce image data set size.
  • To assess the impact of data reduction on storage requirements and image quality.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 1,651 screening mammography cases with bilateral FFDM images.
  • Images were cropped using a DICOM editor, maintaining image quality, and evaluated based on breast volume.
  • Comparison of image sizes between cropped and uncropped groups, with independent evaluation of image quality and reader preference by two radiologists.

Main Results:

  • Digital storage requirements were reduced by 3.8% to 82.9% for cropped FFDM images.
  • Mean reduction rates varied with breast volume (74.7% for 1/4, 61.1% for 2/4, 38% for 3/4, and 24% for 4/4).
  • Overall image quality and reader preference were higher for cropped images compared to uncropped ones, with a 57.7% total data set size reduction.

Conclusions:

  • A FFDM crop tool effectively reduces mammography data storage requirements.
  • The implemented crop tool enhances storage efficiency without compromising, and potentially improving, image quality and reader preference.
