Mammogram images are primarily read by consultant radiologists but can also be read by advanced practitioner radiographers and breast clinicians who have undergone specific training in mammogram interpretation. For consistency and safety, each participant’s set of mammograms is read twice (called first read and second read) by 2 different readers.
