Comparison of film screen, computed radiography and direct digital mammography in the Southern Derby screening programme

Our screening programme has been fully digital since April 2009 and utilises a combination of computed radiography (CR) (Fuji Profect) and three direct digital mammography (DDM) mammographic systems (Fuji Amulet, GE DS and GE Essential). This study compares the performance of our CR and DDM systems against film screen (FS) mammography in a real-life screening environment.
