Optimising Radiologist Performance in Cancer Detection on Mammograms: The Impact of Weekly Reading Hours and Test Set Experience on BreastScreen and Non-BreastScreen Readers.

Radiologists reading more mammograms weekly and having BreastScreen training detect cancers more accurately, supporting volume and experience standards.

Weekly mammogram reading volume and dedicated BreastScreen programme experience independently predict radiologist cancer detection performance, providing evidence for minimum volume requirements and specialist training standards. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
