Next Section Good News/Bad News Although mammographic screening is far from perfect, the benefits that were shown objectively in RCTs have now been demonstrated for populations outside of trials. Unfortunately, just as the benefits of mammographic screening have produced a major decrease in deaths from these cancers, I believe we are headed for a screening crisis. The number of radiologists who are willing to interpret mammographic images appears to be decreasing. There has been a marked decrease in the number of radiologists who are applying for breast imaging fellowships. In a recent survey ( 12 ), it was found that the major reason why radiologists were not going into the field was that they were not interested. However, the second most important reason was the stress involved in interpreting mammograms and the fear of being sued. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of lawsuits in the United States for “failure to diagnose” breast cancer ( 13 ). Radiologists are well aware that this has become one of the leading causes of medical malpractice claims. Many radiologists are asking themselves why they should expose themselves to the increased risk of a lawsuit. One of the reasons
