| If the the two readers disagree, then the case will go to 'arbitration' or 'consensus' - where further discussion by a third reader or panel takes place to decide whether to recall for assessment or give a normal result. | ||

| If both agree abnormalities are present, then the participant will be asked back to the breast screening unit for further tests. This is known as ‘assessment’. Some units will take these to arbitration first. |

Not sure I fully understand this bit?
Do some units do arbitration if both reads see an abnormality?

| ## What is image reading | ||
|
|
||
| Image reading (or film reading) is the process where specially trained healthcare professionals review mammograms taken during breast screening, looking for abnormalities. It's colloquially called 'film reading' because traditionally they would be reviewing physical x-ray films. Although mammograms are now digital, the term 'film reading' remains in common use. |

‘abnormalities’ or ‘cancer’?

Good question! The overall aim is obviously cancer, but at the image reading stage I think you can only say that there are abnormalities - cancer gets confirmed (or not) later.
