Breast imagers and their allies cornered vendor representatives during a special session at the SCAR meeting Saturday and demanded more standardization and consistency in the handling of digital breast images.

While the rapid transition to multislice CT overloads radiologists with images, the typical workflow strategy used to cope with image overload is unsatisfactory, according to a SCAR University session. A volumetric navigation approach addresses this problem, but not without problems of its own.

Over 10% of the image CDs patients bring from one hospital facility to another cannot be transferred onto a PACS, according to a study from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
