[Revision of consensus statement on imaging diagnosis of the breast]

Changes which have taken place since 1983, when the Dutch consensus meeting on mammography was held, made it necessary to review the consensus statement. In 1983 only radiologists participated in the working group, in 1993 representatives from all other relevant disciplines participated as well. Much attention was paid to the indication for mammography and supplementary diagnostic methods, especially ultrasound techniques and US-guided cytology. Along the lines given by the ACR guidelines on breast cancer reporting, attention was given to better communication with referring doctors.
