Trained Radiographers May Be a Solution for the Radiologist Shortage

Caption

Mammograms in a 54-year-old woman undergoing her second screening mammographic examination. (A) There are 15 mm of pleomorphic microcalcifications (arrowhead) in the superior right breast on the mediolateral oblique view. (B) The microcalcifications (arrowheads) are best observed on this magnified view. It was not recalled by the radiographer who read the mammogram first and was recalled by the radiologist who read the image second. Stereotactic-guided biopsy showed high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ.
