Studies Included	Comments	Conclusions
37 relevant articles on technical review, 7 on clinical review, 17 on economic analysis.	A significant benefit is shorter examination times; Potential for reduced radiation dose, but the significance of this is unclear. Advantages include removal of procedural burdens of dealing with FM, e.g., archiving, computer-assisted diagnosis. However, DM systems also require technical improvements to achieve full benefit.	Economic: DM has significantly higher annualized costs than FM. Technical: Potential benefits (improved diagnostic accuracy, shorter examination time, lower radiation dose) for patients, institutions and payers not demonstrated in clinical setting. Clinical: Ability to detect cancer comparable for both procedures. Assuming clinical equivalence, minimum-cost system is preferred; therefore, FM preferable to DM at this time.
