Key Considerations with Implementing Contrast-Enhanced Mammography in Your Practice
October 12th 2022As literature continues to emerge about the potential of contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM), this author reviews clinical and practical benefits of the modality and pertinent steps for adding it to your diagnostic armamentarium.
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Breast Density: What a New Study Reveals
October 6th 2022In a large study of nearly 100,000 women, researchers found that the combination of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and synthesized mammography had more than triple the detection rate for invasive breast cancer in extremely dense breasts in comparison to digital mammography alone.
Study Finds No Benefit to MRI Screening in Women with High-Risk Breast Lesions
October 3rd 2022In a study involving nearly 700 patients with atypical ductal or lobular hyperplasia, or lobular carcinoma in situ, researchers found no difference in four-year breast cancer detection rates between women who had screening mammography and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and women who only had mammography screening.
What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About Breast Density, Mammography and MRI Screening
September 28th 2022Assessing data from 386,590 women, researchers noted that women with extremely dense breast tissue have more than double the risk for breast cancer in comparison to women with average breast density and nearly four times the risk of women with extremely fatty breast tissue.
New Mammography Study Examines Association Between Breast Density Changes and Breast Cancer Risk
September 22nd 2022In a retrospective review involving over 2.2 million women with three consecutive biennial mammography screenings and no history of breast cancer, researchers noted that for premenopausal women with fatty breasts at baseline, increasing breast density at subsequent screenings led to significantly elevated hazard ratios ranging from 1.45 to 1.93 for the risk of breast cancer.
What a New Study Reveals About Radiographers and Mammography Assessment
September 14th 2022In a new United Kingdom study comparing radiologist and radiographer assessment of over 1.4 million digital mammograms, researchers said there were no significant differences with cancer detection rates or recall rates.
Managing Incidentalomas in Radiology: Embracing Challenges as Opportunities
September 12th 2022Greater imaging utilization has increased the prevalence of incidental findings or incidentalomas, but unclear clinical context and guidelines complicate management. Accordingly, these authors offer a thorough review of the literature and discuss new opportunities for improving interdisciplinary management strategies.
Could the New Stratus Imaging PACS Viewer Help Streamline Radiology Workflows?
September 9th 2022Offering a variety of features to enhance efficiency, bolster security and reduce IT overhead, the cloud-native SaaS platform may help radiologists minimize workflow issues that can impede practices with high imaging volume.
Addressing the Digital Divide with Annual Mammography Exams
September 1st 2022In a new study of over 7,200 women with no history of breast cancer, researchers found that women who scheduled health-care appointments online were more likely to have annual mammography exams but only 18 percent of the study population scheduled appointments online.
Screening Mammography and Breast Arterial Calcification: What a New Study Reveals
August 31st 2022Emerging research suggests a higher prevalence of positive breast arterial calcification (BAC) rates among Hispanic and Black women, and a lower rate of BAC in women with dense breasts or breast implants.
Study Finds Disparities with Follow-Up After Incomplete Mammography Exams
August 18th 2022Emerging research revealed that Asian patients, Black patients, and those who identified their race as “other” were nearly 1.5 times more likely than White women to have more than two-month delays with follow-up imaging after BI-RADS 0 screening mammography.
Survey: Over Half of Women in Their 40s Did Not Have a Mammogram in the Past Year
August 17th 2022In a recent survey of nearly 2,000 women in their 40s who had no history of breast cancer, researchers found that over 38 percent of survey respondents said they had no reason to get a mammogram or had never thought about it.
MRI/CT Imaging for Axillary Lymph Nodes: What a New Breast Cancer Study Reveals
August 16th 2022The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) had a 63.83 percent sensitivity rate for tumor-infiltrated axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer in comparison to a 36.11 percent sensitivity rate for the combination of mammography and sonography.
