Early Detection Of Breast Cancer
29th OF October 2011
The University of Sydney, BreastScreen NSW and Ziltron have joined together to developed a pioneering web-based program to monitor the performance of radiologists in detecting and diagnosing abnormalities in breast x-rays.
The BREAST Project aims to improve the early detection of breast cancer through screening, therefore reducing breast cancer mortality and morbidity.
BreastScreen Australia is attempting to maximise the number of breast cancers diagnosed early, allowing for early treatment of breast cancer and improving outcomes for women.
Professor Patrick Brennan from the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Health and Sciences says: “The project supports this through increasing the opportunity for radiologists to monitor their performance and receive feedback following examination of series of test cases.”
The BreastScreen Reader Assessment Strategy (BREAST) uses digital screen-reading test sets designed to assess the performance of the user in correctly identifying abnormalities on mammograms and in interpreting whether or not the lesions identified pose a risk of breast cancer.
