*
Includes examinations for radiologists with minimum numbers of cases in
a given column as designated; excludes examinations for which the radiologist
is unknown.
† The number of radiologists in
this column does not equal the sum of radiologists in the other column
because a given radiologist may contribute to each of the preceding columns,
but may contribute to this column only once.
‡ Minimal cancer = DCIS
or invasive cancer <= 10 mm.
