inserted into normal workflow over the course of 9 months during which another 9826 other cases were screened. Estimated prevalence 0.8%. Data are the call back decisions. High Prevalence 100 cases (50 positive, 50 negative) each read by six radiologists (6 of 14 from the low prevalence arm). Prevalence is 50%. Reading the 100 cases took 3 hours. Data are the call back decisions and a 0-10 rating from negative to clearly abnormal.
