The advantages of full field digital mammography are the excellent and reliable image quality and the reduction of radiation exposure. Image acquisition and display are decoupled in digital mammography allowing for optimization of both independently. Image displays are currently either hardcopy produced with a laser printer or softcopy using a computer monitor. Since the amount of data is high the hardware and software must meet specific technical specifications. The diagnostic accuracy of softcopy and hardcopy interpretation is comparable if a high resolution laser printer and a high quality workstation with high spatial and contrast resolution monitors are used. However, using film display the potential benefits of digital mammography in terms of manipulation of the data is lost. Additional diagnostic benefits might be gained by the combination of softcopy display and computer assisted diagnosis (CAD) and telemammography.
