* 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
