This is an article about one of the side-effects of the switch to digital mammography: More calls to the patients to come in for a second look.
My local radiology center converted to digital, I had my first digital one last year. I got called back, but luckily for me, the call came from the gynecologist's office, who explained that the vast majority of do-overs found nothing. That was good, for all I got from the radiologist was a letter that said: "we see an anomaly, come back in for a second test" (or words to that effect).
It would have been even better if someone had told me that it was a by-product of the switch to digital mammography. Then I might not have spent a week or so with the nagging worry of whether this was going to be a nasty battle with cancer. As it was, it turned out to be nothing and I had emotions ranging from relief to wanting to throttle the radiologist. (I went with "relief.")

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
My wife had the same experience some years back, two weeks to worry about it. Lately they've been doing callbacks via a letter that takes pains to say something to the effect of "It's almost always nothing".
