Practicalities of developing a breast magnetic resonance imaging screening service for women at high risk for breast cancer.

Background: Demand for screening breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for women with a hereditary predisposition to breast cancer has increased since the introduction of a medicare item number. To aid future service planning, we examined the practicalities of establishing and running a breast MRI screening programme for high risk women and to describe the early outcomes of our screening programme.

Methods: We undertook a retrospective audit of prospectively collected data.

Routine editing of trainee-generated radiology reports: effect on style quality.

Rationale And Objectives: The authors performed this study to determine the effect of routine editing on the style quality of trainee-generated radiology reports.

Materials And Methods: Trainee-generated reports of 50 body computed tomographic scans obtained at a tertiary care cancer center were edited in a routine fashion by one of two attending radiologists. Three physicians and four radiologists each independently evaluated the randomized unedited and edited reports (n = 100) and rated each report for clarity, brevity, readability, and quality of the impression by using a five-point scale.
