Statement of Task and Workshop Agenda
STATEMENT OF TASK
An ad hoc committee will plan and host a 1.5-day public workshop to examine the evidence regarding interpretive performance in breast cancer screening. The workshop will feature panel discussions and invited presentations from experts in the interpretation of screening mammography to assess the state of the evidence, identify remaining gaps, and examine potential opportunities for advancing research and practice.
Participants will be invited to discuss topics related to
- the relationship between reader volume and interpretive performance;
- the relationship between screening and diagnostic volume, and the impact of working up one’s own recalled cases on interpretative performance;
- performance criteria to identify radiologists who might benefit most from interventions;
- use of test instruments to assess interpretive performance; and
- tools and interventions to improve interpretive performance.
The committee will develop the agenda for the workshop sessions, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. An individually authored workshop summary of the presentations and
discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
