GRID-BASED MAMMOGRAPHY TRAINING Application

This paper discusses the design of a computer based training (CBT) system to support both the improvement of the skills of experienced readers and the training of new staff. This work is timely because recent advances in technology – particularly advances in high-quality computer displays and high-speed networking – hold the promise of delivering significant benefits for mammography. Through the use of ethnographic data we show how training packages and systems might be configured to take account of real world practice and how current practices would be impacted by a training system.
