Report from the Initial Planning Meeting of the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Digital Mammography Task Force


This forum was initiated and organized by Rita Zuley, MD, Kathy Willison RT(R)(M), Tess Wade, and Shannon DeMay of the Elizabeth Wende Breast Clinic (a SCAR institutional member) to bring the clinician, manufacturer, scientist, and regulatory bodies together in the interest of continued excellence in breast disease diagnosis. 

The goals of the forum were to establish the current state of the art, identify issues preventing the implementation of electronic breast imaging, including the topic of preserving image integrity across all systems, educate all manufacturers in the user’s needs, educate the user in the practical technical possibilities, and together establish goals for the future of breast imaging and paths to reach these goals.
