study in Fann Teaching Hospital between April 2014 and</span> <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">June 2015 one year after its implementation. The
quantitative component</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> consisted of the audit of the database to
determine the socio-demographic cha</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">racteristics

trans</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ferred </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">to
Microsoft Excel. For scale variables, we calculated the averages and extremes.
For qualitative variables, we established percentages.</span> <b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Re</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">sults</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:
During the study period, 433 patients underwent mammograms. The</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> average
age of patients was 48 years. The completion rate maintained above 85% was
below 26% in the first two months of use. As to the completeness given </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">examinations, it was still above 83%.</span></span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The results of mammogram
examina</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">tions were normal in the majority of cases: 96% for
the right breast and 95.2% for </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">the left
