Who's got the energy for another large study of benefits versus harms of mammography screening? http://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1669103 …
@trishgreenhalgh Does mammography screening itself do the harm? Or do radiographer skills & surgeons' clinical judgement need the scrutiny?

@C7RKY good question. As always, not the technology but the technology-in-use. It's a complex intervention, of course.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@C7RKY@trishgreenhalgh Radiographer skill is already highly scrutinised - the radiologist always has the final say whether to recall. -
@MrsEmmaWoolley@trishgreenhalgh Don't have broad experience Emma, hence my q'n - just enough to know this critical step can go badly wrong. -
@C7RKY A certain% must be 'Perfect' or 'Good' in the PGMI system, all must be diagnostic- or the woman gets a 'tech recall' for more images. -
@MrsEmmaWoolley Is that specific to mammograms, or does the same approach apply to all such scans? I hope it's a rare situation, but my own> -
@C7RKY ...agreed on. Sorry to hear about your story - hindsight can be a powerful tool in reviewing films! -
@MrsEmmaWoolley Thank you. As I said, I hope our case is rare. Sadly it's 1 of several major concerns, so I take some convincing nowadays :)
