Mammography

Radiation risk from mammography may be overestimated by women who may then avoid undergoing the screening examination.

Women treated with chest radiation as children have an increased risk for developing breast cancer later in life, a study says.

Women who receive false-positive mammography results are still likely to undergo future testing.

Arizona joins 14 other states in requiring breast density patient notification.

Radiologists are using DBT clinically and more frequently, but it still remains a limited resource.

Women who have previously undergone breast conserving therapy may find a supplemental screening option in MR imaging.

Breast emergencies are uncommon but require quick identification and management when patients present with complaints, such as mastitis and breast abscesses.

The ACR and SBI are concerned that the JAMA breast cancer screening article will result in fewer women undergoing potentially life-saving mammography.

Controversial mammography screening has its benefits and harms. Patients need individualized recommendations to confirm that it’s worth the risk.

Full-field digital mammography is associated with lower recall and biopsy rates, compared with screen film mammography.

A 30-year-old who has been breastfeeding for three months presents for evaluation of a right breast lump that is nontender and has been present for two weeks.

Direct radiography photon-counting systems detect more smaller breast cancers and DCIS, but also cause more recalls.

Breast ultrasound finds many cancers missed by mammography, even when reviewed retrospectively.

As computer-aided detection becomes the standard of care for mammography, how are radiologists using the tool, and what does its future hold?

The CNBSS and the USPSTF mammography recommendations are useless, and women in their 40s should be screened. Here’s why.

Despite flawed recommendations, patients will still demand screening mammograms. Let it become an optional – and unregulated – service, then, and see what happens.

Breast-specific gamma imaging detects breast cancer in both dense and nondense breast tissue.

Annual mammography does not reduce risk of death from breast cancer for women between 40 and 59, according to a study the ACR faulted as misleading.

Tomosynthesis is better than radiography and almost as good as MRI in detecting bone erosion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Adding one-view tomosynthesis to digital mammography improves diagnostic accuracy and reduces recall rates, but adding two-view tomosynthesis provides even better results.

Digital mammography with a photon-counting system had higher cancer detection rates than traditional systems.
