Annals of Internal MedicineMammography: A Contrary View
242 Citations1976John C. Bailar
There is good evidence that annual history, physical examination, and mammography can reduce short-term and midrange breast cancer mortality by about one third and promotion of mammography as a general public health measure is premature.

This monograph is especially timely because the Xerox Corporation has recently developed a compact unit for the purposes of breast xeroradiography, which is now available commercially.

The mammographic yield of clinically unsuspected carcinoma of the breast among women over 40 being screened for the first time is sufficiently high to encourage its extended trial as a screening method.
RadiologyLow-Dose Mammography
40 Citations1973Bernard J. Ostrum, W Becker +1 more
An improved mammographic technique employing a single-emulsion film in combination with a high-definition intensifying screen significantly reduces the radiation dosage per exposure and enhances the contrast of the soft-tissue structures of the breast.
CancerDetection of breast cancer by periodic utilization of methods of physical diagnosis
34 Citations1971Victor A. Gilbertsen, Marcus O. Kjelsberg
It appears that if concerted efforts were made for more adequate professional education regarding the merits of periodic examinations a substantial improvement in survival of breast cancer patients would be realized.
RadiologyA Co-Operative Evaluation of Mammography in Seven Teaching Hospitals
32 Citations1966Adele K. Friedman, S. I. Askovitz +8 more
A group of radiologists representing seven teaching hospitals in Philadelphia undertook in 1962 to study the value of mammography as a diagnostic tool and its usefulness in the management of the breast patients of the physicians and surgeons practicing in the participating hospitals.
JAMAMammography, An Aid to Diagnosis of Breast Carcinoma
27 Citations1962Robert L. Egan
The demonstration of 58 clinically unsuspected carcinomas indicated that mammography was of value in the detection of carcinoma of the breast before signs and symptoms appeared, and accurate results in mammography have been made possible only by the development of a high milliamperage-low kilovoltage roentgenographic technique.
JAMAPROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION AND MEDICAL EDUCATION
8 Citations1962Steven E. Ross
Programmed instruction represents a human engineering-type of approach to teaching that promises to introduce a new degree of ease, effectiveness, and efficiency into the initial and continuing training of physicians.

It is concluded, therefore, that for breast screening the 'coarse mammogram' is acceptable and the wide international acceptance of Medichrome screen combinations in addition to the own work with this and the Trimax system, which are currently using, produce adequate mammograms.
