Full-field digital mammographic interpretation with prior analog versus prior digitized analog mammography: time for interpretation.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to quantitatively compare the time for interpretation of screening full-field digital mammography (FFDM) images using prior analog film mammograms for comparison versus digitized prior analog mammograms.

Materials And Methods: Images from 100 FFDM studies were interpreted by four radiologists. All FFDM images had comparison analog mammograms obtained a minimum of 1 year earlier that were digitized using a 43-μm film digitizer.

Goals and objectives for an integrated, graduated curriculum in abdominal radiology.

The Residency Review Committee of the American Council of Graduate Medical Education has designated abdominal radiology as one of the subspecialty areas required for radiology residency training. Because it spans both gastrointestinal and genitourinary organ systems and multiple modalities, a graduated, integrated abdominal radiology curriculum, which is based on the General Competencies, was developed.
