The NHS Breast Cancer Screening Programme has judged that the value added of current Computer Assisted Mammography systems is yet insufficient to justify wide spread adoption.  And the current systems are unlikely to improve because they examine one individual mammogram at a time instead of exploiting the well defined radiologist protocols for detecting breast cancer as discussed above.  QinetiQ is confident that further development of its approach to this subject will improve automatic breast cancer detection over an above that which is currently possible.
