Critical Reviews in Diagnostic Imaging

Abstract:
Digital mammography is a rapidly developing technology that has great potential to improve upon and ultimately replace conventional film-screen mammography for the early detection of breast cancer. This article reviews current progress in digital mammographic systems, computer-aided diagnostic programs, and artificial neural networks. Digital mammographic systems are currently in an investigational phase only. Large-scale clinical trials are needed in all areas of digital mammography before this exciting new technology can be implemented outside of research centers.
