This summer's breast imaging research spanned digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) efficiency gains, AI models that flag cancer risk years before diagnosis, a cautionary study on automation bias, and advances in ultrasound, MRI, and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM). Here is a look back at the most well-viewed breast imaging content of the summer.
