Authors' objectives:
This study evaluates the organisation, use and performance of clinical mammography in Denmark.
Authors' recommendations:
As data covering clinical mammography and breast assessment in Denmark has a decentralised structure, the collection of data used in the present study has been very time demanding and is not suited for routine evaluation of performance of clinical mammography and other aspects of clinical mammography/breast assessment.
Future evaluations of clinical mammography would therefore strongly benefit if a central register containing data on patient characteristics, radiological data, and follow-up data on breast cancer was implemented. The combination of a central database and the Danish and European Guidelines for clinical mammography and breast assessment would thereby be a very helpful tool in order to improve the organisation and performance of clinical mammography and breast assessment in Denmark.
