New BREAST test set alert:

‘High breast density’ was released at the BreastScreen Conference.

In March 2024, the BREAST team ran a workshop at the BreastScreen conference in Canberra. We released our latest test set ‘High breast density’ which contains 60 cases and 2 CPD hours can be claimed.

In addition, for the first time, we offered our sessions to radiographers for a study our PhD student is currently running – looking at the use of priors and without during screening. This study is open to all of our readers, including radiologists, breast physicians and registrars. If you are interested, please contact Mel Robinson, the BREAST program manager.

Furthermore, if you are interested in participating in a study that involves AI and breast screening, please contact Mel. We currently have two different studies; one using AI to create test sets for an individual reader to personally improve in areas of weakness. This can be done remotely. The second study, funded by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, will begin recruiting in late April and will involve using an AI interface when reading a BREAST-designed test set. However, this study can only be conducted in person in Sydney.

Just a reminder, BREAST has upgraded our online platform that now enables all readers to utilise our test sets without the need for PACS.
