Abstract
Only 70-80% of breast cancer is detected in the screening environment. Detection of microcalcifications is generally incomplete and limits effectiveness of controlling breast cancer through early detection. Any advantage in detection of microcalcifications would be highly welcome. Anecdotal comments from practicing radiologists suggest that increased luminance provides one way to increase the detection of relevant microcalcifications. This paper aims to study the effect of increased display luminance on the detection probability of microcalcifications.
