Digital mammography, particularly through its advanced applications, holds great promise for improved diagnostic accuracy, but the display of the images is not ideal at present. Clinical softcopy workstations are somewhat unwieldy to use, and image processing has not yet been optimized for each machine or for each clinical task. In addition, the cost-effectiveness and accuracy of the technology warrant careful study before digital mammography becomes widely disseminated and potentially replaces screen-film mammography, a technology that has been well documented to reduce breast cancer mortality.
