Transitioning to Full Field Digital Mammography in Nova Scotia: Using Interrupted Time Series Methods to Study the Impact of Technology Change on Mammography Volumes

Over the past decade, mammography has transitioned from film to digital media with promises of increased productivity and time savings. Between 2007 and 2010 in Nova Scotia, 10 mammography sites transitioned from analog to digital, providing a natural experiment to evaluate the transition (full-field digital mammography) on mammography with respect to changes in throughput volumes in a “real-world” setting.
