Three-yearly mammographic breast screening was introduced into the UK in the late 1980s using analogue filmscreen. This initially entailed one projection for each breast (medio-lateral); in 2004 a second projection (cranio-caudal) was introduced to improve cancer detection rates. Around 2010 digital technology replaced film and full field digital mammography (FFDM) became prevalent within the UK. […]

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the seventh most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 3% of all new cases. The increased incidence in the population is largely due to the greater usage of imaging to investigate patients and also partly due to true increased incidence as a result of smoking, obesity and hypertension.
