Abstract
The availability of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in near future will overcome many of current limitations of screen-film mammography. Image acquisition, display, and storage are performed independently by FFDM systems and can therefore be separately optimized. Superior image contrast of digital mammograms and the potential of post processing and image enhancement may greatly improve the conspicuity of diagnostic information before presentation [1]. However, display of digital mammograms on CRT monitors for their interpretation is still demanding and requires advanced hardware components and dedicated software due to the large amount of digital data, high standards on image consistency, and current mammographic practice. Basic functionality of a workstation in mammography should build on conventional diagnostic schemes and comprise instantaneous and convenient access to the digital data at optimum image quality [2].
