Abstract:
:Computers should play an important role in mammography screening. This paper demonstrates the ability of a low-cost microcomputer-based data management system to speed up and make more efficient many aspects of both day-to-day and overall operation of a mammography screening practice. Specific computer procedures are described in sufficient detail to permit an experienced programmer to write the appropriate application software.
