Is Contrast-Enhanced Mammography a Viable Option for Diagnosing Invasive Lobular Carcinoma?
December 15th 2023Contrast-enhanced mammography had a 98 percent sensitivity rate for diagnosing invasive lobular carcinoma and provided high conspicuity for 82 percent of detected lesions, according to research presented at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
What a New Mammography Study Reveals About BMI, Race, Ethnicity and Advanced Breast Cancer Risk
December 8th 2023In a new study examining population attributable risk proportions (PARPs) based on data from over three million screening mammography exams, researchers found that postmenopausal Black women had the highest BMI-related PARP and premenopausal Asian and Pacific Islander women had the highest breast density-related PARP for advanced breast cancer.
Study: Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Changes Surgical Plan in 22.5 Percent of Breast Cancer Cases
December 7th 2023Contrast-enhanced mammography detected additional lesions in 43 percent of patients and led to additional biopsies in 18.2 percent of patients, over half of whom had malignant lesions, according to a study of over 500 women presented at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
What a New Study Reveals About Adjunctive DBT and Early-Stage Invasive Breast Cancer
December 6th 2023The combination of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and digital mammography had a 21.6 higher invasive breast cancer detection rate for stage 1 tumors than digital mammography alone, according to a new study involving nearly 100,000 women.
GE HealthCare Launches AI Mammography Platform with Key Applications from iCAD
November 30th 2023Offering an all-in-one platform of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, MyBreastAI Suite reportedly facilitates early breast cancer detection and enhances efficiency with breast imaging workflows.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
Study Says Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Offers Comparable Breast Cancer Detection to MRI
November 15th 2023In findings from an enriched cohort of asymptomatic patients with screening-detected abnormalities, researchers found that contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) was superior to conventional mammography and offered equivalent detection of breast cancer in comparison to breast MRI and abbreviated breast MRI.
What a New Review Reveals About Mammography-Based AI and Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
November 9th 2023Mammography-based artificial intelligence (AI) models demonstrated an 11 percent higher median AUC for predicting breast cancer than traditional clinical risk factors, according to a new systematic review of 16 retrospective studies.
Mammography News: FDA Clears AI Software for Breast Arterial Calcification Detection
October 17th 2023Utilized in conjunction with screening digital mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software cmAngio may help detect and localize breast arterial calcification (BAC), an incidental finding that has been linked to an elevated risk for heart disease and stroke.
Mammography-Based Deep Learning Model Facilitates Higher Breast Cancer Detection on Screening MRI
September 22nd 2023New research suggests the capability of a mammography-based deep learning model to identify women at high risk of breast cancer led to more than triple the cancer detection rate on breast MRI in comparison to traditional risk assessment tools.
Large Mammography Study Suggests AI is Equivalent to Radiologists for Double Reading of Exams
September 11th 2023In a prospective study of over 55,000 women who had screening mammography, researchers found that double-reading by a radiologist and artificial intelligence (AI) was non-inferior to double-reading by two radiologists in detecting breast cancer.
Can AI Match Radiologist Assessment of Screening Mammography Exams?
September 5th 2023In separate test sets that included challenging mammography cases, researchers found that artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrated similar sensitivity and specificity for detecting breast cancer in comparison to assessments from over 500 clinicians.
