Digital mammography.
Digital mammography, using novel detector technology, has been shown to be at least as sensitive as screen-film mammography for detecting early breast cancer. However, there are barriers to overcome, particularly in soft-copy display, workstation design, and equipment cost. These problems are actively being addressed and are solvable, eventually allowing digital mammography to assume a "prime time" role.
