Abstract

Previous research has revealed that Vietnamese radiologists had lower diagnostic efficacy in interpreting mammograms than radiologists from Western countries. This study investigated the improvement in diagnostic performances of Vietnamese doctors in breast cancer detection via VIETRAD (VIEtnam: Transformation of Radiological Detection) program. Data of 33 participants who completed three training sessions containing normal and cancer mammographic cases from Australia and Vietnam were assessed in sensitivity, specificity, ROC and JAFROC. Results show that Vietnamese doctors have improved their diagnostic accuracy in identifying normal and cancer cases on mammograms across different levels of breast density.
