Screening organization and recall rate in a regional breast screening programme.

Objective To use results on recall rates from a regional non-population-based breast screening programme to inform practice in a planned national population-based programme. Methods We analysed data on rates of recall for further assessment in 27,327 mammographic screening episodes in 2015-2016 in the breast screening programme in the city of Tbilisi, Georgia. Screening was done by two-view digital mammography with double reading in women aged 40-70, and further assessment took place at the same clinic and during the same visit as the initial screening mammogram.
