First Major Study Of Screening Digital Mammography Gearing Up.
2001 JUL 12 - (NewsRx Network) -- Nineteen medical institutions in the U.S. and Canada have been selected to take part in the first major study assessing the value of digital mammography versus standard mammography.
The study, called the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) study, is funded with a $25 million grant from the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI). A total of 49,500 women will be recruited for the study to compare digital mammography to standard film mammography and decide if the new digital technique is equal to or better than the traditional method in breast cancer screening.
Unlike film-based mammography, digital mammography uses computer-based electronic conductors to convert X-rays to light and light to digital symbols, ultimately displayed on computer monitors as pictures of the interior of the breast.
