title: Mammographic diagnosis of breast cancer.
abstract: It is very important for exact diagnosis of early breast cancer that both the mammography quality and the film reading ability are on a high level. Not only the radiology technician but doctors must know the mammographic apparatus and quality control to obtain high-quality mammograms. The understanding of the mammographic technique will help systematic reading of the mammograms. Knowledge of the correlation with mammographic findings and pathological findings will also be useful to diagnose the mammograms accurately and rapidly.
