Using automated software evaluation to improve the performance of breast radiographers in tomosynthesis screening.

Objective: To improve breast radiographers' individual performance by using automated software to assess the correctness of breast positioning and compression in tomosynthesis screening.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective longitudinal analysis of prospective cohorts, six breast radiographers with varying experience in the field were asked to use automated software to improve their performance in breast compression and positioning. The software tool automatically analyzes craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views for their positioning quality by scoring them according to PGMI classifications (perfect, good, moderate, inadequate) and checking whether the compression pressure is within the target range.
