Screening mammography: do women prefer a higher recall rate given the possibility of earlier detection of cancer?
Marie A. Ganott,Jules H. Sumkin,Jill L. King,Amy H. Klym,Victor J. Catullo,Cathy S. Cohen,David Gur +6 more
TL;DR: A substantial fraction of women in this study would have preferred the inconvenience of and anxiety associated with a higher recall rate if it resulted in the possibility of detecting breast cancer earlier.

The prevalence effect in a laboratory environment: Changing the confidence ratings.
TL;DR: Expectations of disease prevalence in the case mix during a laboratory observer performance study may systematically affect the behavior of observers in terms of their actual confidence ratings.

Empiric assessment of parameters that affect the design of multireader receiver operating characteristic studies
Howard E. Rockette,William L. Campbell,Cynthia A. Britton,J. Michael Holbert,Jill L. King,David Gur +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that reader variability is task dependent and larger than modality variability in detection of interstitial disease and use of the same cases interpreted with different modes is justifiable in many situations because of the high variability from readers.

Prescreening mammography by technologists: a preliminary assessment.
Jules H. Sumkin,Herta M. Klaman,Marianne Graham,Theresa Ruskauff,Rose C. Gennari,Jill L. King,Amy H. Klym,Marie A. Ganott,David Gur +8 more
TL;DR: Even without undergoing additional training, technologists can perform at reasonable levels of accuracy in classifying screening mammograms and the possibility of using technologists to group cases after the technologists have undergone training is an interesting concept that should be explored further.

Practical issues of experimental ROC analysis. Selection of controls.
TL;DR: Tory considerations and experimental data are provided to demonstrate the significance of the selection of actually negative controls for receiver operating characteristics studies.
