During a recent information session in Blacktown, radiographer Katrina Santos-Monses from BreastScreen NSW explained what happens after a mammogram and what patients can expect if they are asked to return for further tests.
Key Points
- In Australia, mammogram results undergo “double reading,” with images initially reviewed by a radiologist supported by artificial intelligence (AI). Any discrepancies are then assessed by a second radiologist to confirm the findings.
- If an area needs further investigation, patients may be called back for additional screening.These tests help doctors determine whether a finding is harmless or requires further attention.
- BreastScreen NSW continues to encourage eligible women to attend regular mammograms, particularly in culturally diverse communities where awareness may be lower.
