Abstract
The design of screening-programs requires a careful evaluation of the screening population, its spectrum and prevalence of disease, the training level and motivation of the physician as well as the infrastructure for clinical and radiological work-flow, image analysis and reporting. In this respect, a close interaction between the screening participant, the radiologist and the referring partners is a key prerequisite. The design of the infrastructure has to aim at defining a consistent, reproducible and clinically practicable chain of screening recruitment, diagnostic procedures and follow-up as well as treatment recommendations (Fig. 5.1).
