Digital mammography review station: user interface, image processing and display considerations

The aim of this project was to establish the specification for an effective digital mammography review station and investigate the suitability of some of the recent developments in both hardware and software for use in a clinical environment. As the review station is still under development digital mammography images from the CR system are transferred to the laboratory on a weekly basis via a fibre optic data link. These images are then stored on erasable optical discs for reviewing at a later date. Eventually it is hoped to provide a clinical service via the review station
