Description:
We would like to kindly invite you to take part in a self-assessment/training set. The IMPROVE scheme is a self-assessment and training scheme designed for breast screening readers. It involves the distribution of test sets containing challenging breast screening cases, including normal, benign, and abnormal mammograms. The scheme will be available for webinar registrants from beginning of September until October 29.

The information to create your account on the PERFORMS platform will be sent beginning of September. Each participant will receive a unique username and password to log in to their personal PERFORMS portal, ensuring confidentiality.
A set of 30 de-identified FFDM breast screening images, including one practice case, will be distributed for participants to load to their workstation.
Participants will then, at their own convenience but within the designated timeframe, examine a set of 30 two-view FFDM cases on their mammographic workstation and report their various decisions on each case into the PERFORMS online reporting software. For participants without access to a mammography workstation, the images can be viewed on their PC with a DICOM viewer installed. Participants have the flexibility to start, stop, and re-start whenever they wish.

Participants will not receive immediate case-by-case feedback. However, feedback and answers will be disclosed and discussed upon with experts during the EUSOBI webinar.

Deadline for registration in order to receive access to the PERFORMS platform: September 4!!
