What sensitivity / specificity are trained radiologists able to receive?

Great question. It prompted me to search for and find a history of sensitivity in mammography[1].

Their conclusion is that 39% is supported by evidence. Furthermore, there is a persistent erroneous belief that mammographic sensitivity is 90-95%.
