Abstract

The interpretation of mammographic images, especially in a screening environment is a complex and difficult skill. Because of the nature of the task, there is obviously a great potential for the introduction of computer aided diagnostic (CAD) systems. It is likely that the initial introduction of these systems will still rely on a radiologist to make the final diagnostic decision. This means that as well as needing to be diagnostically accurate, there are many issues relating to how the radiologist interacts with the system that need to be addressed. It may not be the case that the introduction of CAD will automatically lead to an improvement in performance [1]. This is because a CAD system will have to integrate to some extent with the radiologists’ diagnostic skills that have developed through years of training and experience. As these skills are subtle and multi-faceted, the introduction of CAD may change or bypass certain processes [2] that are a fundamental part of radiologists’ diagnostic proficiency.
