Abstract:
The goal is to improve radiologists’ interpretive skills by evaluating factors that influence performance measures. The specific aims:
- To determine the effects of mammographic interpretive volume on clinical interpretive performance, controlling for patient, physician, and facility factors that influence interpretive performance.
- To create assessment test sets that consist of representative screening mammograms from community practice to assess radiologists’ interpretive skills and determine if performance on assessment test sets is associated with performance in clinical practice.
- To develop and test two interventions designed to improve mammography interpretation skills.
