Using PET/CT in women under 40 who have breast cancer may result in restaging of the cancer and adjustment of treatment.

Breast density can be measured using fully automated volumetric methods, which are less labor intensive than the commonly used methods.

Where did tomosynthesis come from and where is it going? Here, a tomosynthesis pioneer discusses its evolution.

Breast-imaging radiologists are at a higher risk for developing repetitive stress injuries, particularly after implementation of PACS.

Access to imaging, particularly MRI and some forms of CT, vary considerably across the United States.

Based on a true story: the radiologists never saw it coming.

An argument that Moore’s law is at work in medical imaging.

The reason for performing a breast MRI should be taken into consideration when assessing performance measures.

Magnetic resonance imaging detected additional cancers among women who underwent breast conservation therapy following early diagnosis of breast cancer.

There is a need for radiologists to educate the public about why mammography isn’t always a lifesaver, according to experts at AHRA.

Mammography detects early cancers in older women and provides better disease-specific survival than cancers discovered by the patient or physician.

Magnetic resonance images reveal characteristics of breast cancer can differ depending on age.

Analyzing whether rising costs of early breast cancer screening, like mammography, lead to better detection rates.

For the most part, women who undergo image-guided core-needle breast biopsies experience minimal pain.

Tomosynthesis provides better visualization of architectural distortion than mammography.
