Mammograms read by specialists save patients' time and money.
2003 JUN 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Results of a recent study show that breast-imaging specialists are more efficient than general radiologists at reading mammograms, said Martha Mainiero, MD, of Brown Medical School and Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, and lead author of the study.
From September 1, 2000, until September 1, 2001, 28,397 screening mammograms were interpreted by a group of 37 radiologists, including 30 general radiologists and 7 specialists. Between September 1, 2001 and September 1, 2002, 22,086 different screening mammograms were performed at the same sites, but interpreted by 10 of the same physicians, most (7) of whom were the specialists.
The call-back rate was compared between the two groups. The average call-back rate for the first year was 11%, which was significantly higher than the call-back rate of 8% in the second year.
"The call-back rate was significantly lower in the second year, when there was a higher proportion of ...
