A breast cancer surveillance consortium review of interpretation accuracy of diagnostic exams between various mammography facilities at the participating breast cancer surveillance consortium sites. Much is known about interpretive accuracy in screening cohorts, but little is known about diagnostic exams where the risk of malignancy is much higher (1:12 diagnostic compared with 5:1000 screening).
