The interpretive performance of radiologists reading diagnostic mammograms varies widely due to factors not associated with patient characteristics, according to study findings published in the Dec. 19 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Diana L. Miglioretti, Ph.D., of the Group Health Cooperative in Seattle, and colleagues evaluated 123 radiologists' interpretations of 35,895 diagnostic mammography examinations conducted at 72 facilities from January 1996 through December 2003.
