Mammography

Digital radiography (mammography) detects as many breast cancers as screen film mammography and more cancers than computed radiography.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI is a useful tool in aiding detection of residual disease following excisional biopsy for breast cancer.

Electronic bone suppression programs used in addition to CAD allow radiologists to detect more lung nodules than with chest X-rays alone.

Integrating 2D and 3D screening increases breast cancer detection and may lower reports of false positives.

Screening mammograms enhanced by CAD trigger more false alarms than non-CAD screenings and detect more early cancers that may never have needed treatment.

Better communication between radiologists and patients undergoing image-guided breast biopsies results in lower anxiety before and after the procedure.

CAD with chest X-ray to screen for lung cancer may reveal abnormalities, but more study is required.

The ACR and SBI took issue with a recent study on the long-term mental anguish caused by false-positives from mammograms.

CAD may help highlight nodules the clinician may have otherwise missed, but its use is not without legal ramifications. What do you think? Take this survey.

The tides are turning for breast imagers. After several years of declining demand and facility closures, the market is rebounding and more growth is expected.

The man meets machine era is here, and harnessing the power of the machine-man interaction will be key to effective implementation of CAD. So get ready.

Philips received FDA 510(k) clearance for MicroDose SI, a full-field digital mammography system that enables future Single-Shot Spectral Imaging applications.

Breast density can be accurately scored with images obtained through either digital mammography or film-screen mammography.

Mammograms every two years are just as beneficial to women over 65 as are annual exams - and may reduce false positives.

Early breast tomosynthesis adopter Washington Radiology Associates increased cancer detection by one-third, decreased call-backs, and improved provider confidence.

Bilateral dual-energy contrast agent-enhanced digital mammography is as effective as MRI in detecting known primary breast tumors.

CHICAGO - Breast cancer risk estimates increase with frequent CT scans, particularly among younger patients, researchers found.

Three-dimensional imaging with breast tomosynthesis increases diagnostic accuracy and reduces false positive recall rates.

Stereoscopic digital mammography, a new 3D technique, significantly improves the accuracy of breast cancer detection in high-risk women.

Digital mammography is better for detecting life-threatening breast cancers than is screen film mammography, without increasing overdiagnosis.

Adding digital breast tomosynthesis to digital mammography significantly increases the accuracy of the mammography, compared with full-field digital mammo.

GE Healthcare and RadNet have partnered to identify the most efficient, cost-effective approaches for breast cancer detection.

Breast cancer mortality can drop significantly among women who undergo screening.

Women with mutations to the BRCA1/2 genes who undergo diagnostic chest radiation before age 30 are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
