Clinical Comparison of Full Breast Storage Phosphor Digital Mammography and Film-Screen Mammography — A Receiver Operating Characteristic Study

  • Chapter
Digital Mammography

Abstract

Storage phosphor imaging is one of the first clinically applied technologies for full breast digital mammography and is a potential new method for screening and diagnostic mammography [1],[2]. In this study, we compared how well radiologists were able to detect small breast cancers on digital mammograms using storage phosphor (SP) plate technology versus on conventional film-screen (FS) mammograms.
