What are some of the challenges with digital mammography from a connectivity perspective?
When the digital mammography systems started to appear they were approved paired with printing digital mammograms to laser images. And then the vendor added review workstations and received approval for soft copy reading of their images on those soft copy workstations. It’s taken some time for the regulatory framework to allow for the movement of images between different systems and so now we’re starting to see images from one sensor being displayed on workstations from other sensors. In addition, PACS vendors are getting into the game of displaying mammograms for primary interpretation because the FDA requires only that they have a five megapixel monitor that’s been approved for mammography. However, the efficiencies that one sees in film screen environment, from a radiologist reading perspective, are difficult to achieve in a soft copy reading environment — and these are particularly difficult to achieve if the workstation is not well tuned to the particular source imaging. It’s the
