Footnotes:
Numbers are frequencies unless otherwise indicated.
Numbers are frequencies unless otherwise indicated.
Screening Mammography Examinations: mammography examinations indicated by the radiologist to be for screening, with bilateral routine views done and no other mammogram within the last 9 months, among women without breast implants.
* Includes examinations for radiologists with minimum numbers of cases in a given row as designated; excludes examinations for which the radiologist is unknown.
‡ Minimal cancer = DCIS or invasive cancer 1-10 mm.
+ For figures, An overlaid solid line indicates the 50th percentile (median), paired dashed lines indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, and paired dotted lines indicate the 10th and 90th percentiles. A single dashed line below the median indicates the 10th and 25th percentiles are the same and a single dashed line above the median indicates the 75th and 90th percentiles are the same.
