Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) holds promise to improve a host of new imaging applications for your breast imaging practice. FFDM will improve image quality, increase patient flow, decrease patient dose, and reduce retakes. The advantages of this new technology account for the proliferation of commercial FFDM units in the clinical setting. This seminar provides an opportunity to learn from an experienced faculty about this new technology and its appropriate utilization in a breast imaging practice. Practical considerations for making the transition to digital imaging will be emphasized, and new applications that are facilitated by the digital image format will be reviewed. The MQSA requires 8 hours of training on FFDM before operating these units. Attending this seminar fulfills this requirement.

![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
