6-5 Radiologist Training with Sample Cases
6-5-1
Training Instructions
Three sample cases demonstrate the use of SecondLook Digital for the radiologist prior to clinical use.
These cases are intended to familiarize the radiologist with the procedures for using the SecondLook
Digital CAD marks. The case review procedures are emphasized. Therefore, the training is
accomplished by following the case presentations in Section
of this manual, without
requiring use of the softcopy review station.
For each case in the manual, the procedures for using SecondLook Digital CAD marks are
demonstrated to the radiologist with the following steps:
1. The first page will provide the case history and printed versions of the GEMS Senographe full field-
digital mammograms without CAD marks. During clinical use, the radiologist would first review the
mammograms without viewing the CAD marks, following her or his existing procedures of clinical
practice. The radiologist would make an initial determination if a work-up were indicated for the
patient prior to turning on and viewing the CAD marks with the softcopy review workstation.
2. The second page contains printed versions of the mammograms with CAD marks turned on. During
clinical use, the radiologist would "take a second look" at the mammograms corresponding to any
CAD marks. From this re-evaluation of the mammograms, the radiologist would determine if any
additional work-up was required. If there were no CAD marks, no re-evaluation of the mammograms
would be necessary. Work-up decisions are not based solely upon the CAD marks. All work-up
decisions are based upon review of the mammograms, supporting clinical information, and CAD
marks by the radiologist.
3. The third page then presents a summary of the case, which includes the case history, the
mammographic findings, and the resulting pathology. An arrow points to the location of the tumor in
printed versions of the mammograms.
