Mammography

In a changing landscape, radiologists’ relationships with technologists, referring physicians, and patients need to change.

Mammography done on a risk-based approach among women in their forties misses a significant number of cancers, of which many are invasive.

Mammograms with less pressure do not compromise radiation dose or image quality.

Women should not worry that regular screening mammograms would increase their risk of radiation-induced breast cancer.

Radiologists can improve their screening of mammograms if they perform the diagnostic screening on cases that they have recalled.

Attempts at determining imaging efficiency identifies hospitals with inefficient practices but not hospitals that are doing well.

Mammography plus automated breast ultrasonography detects more cancer in women with dense breast tissue.

Biennial screening of women with dense breast tissue using both mammography and tomosynthesis is cost-effective.

Survivors who received radiation to the chest were more likely to develop breast cancer.

50-year-old patient presented for screening mammogram. Extremely dense breast tissue was noted.

Kubtec’s newly approved breast specimen radiography system is the first and only system with tomosynthesis technology, Kubtec announced.

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.

GE’s SenoClaire breast tomosynthesis solution will join Hologic, the only other vendor with FDA approval for 3D mammography.
