Based on findings from what may be the first longitudinal study of gallbladder polyps in patients with underlying liver disease, researchers suggested that size change thresholds for cholecystectomy may need to be reevaluated.

The portable ATUSA™ System reportedly provides 3D ultrasound visualization of the entire breast volume in two minutes.

A new study suggests that deep learning algorithms with multimodal ultrasound have comparable specificity and sensitivity to subjective expert assessment and use of the O-RADS classification to distinguish between benign and malignant ovarian tumors.

Validating a prognostic scoring system for locoregional recurrence risk in post-mastectomy patients with varying levels of axillary lymph node involvement, emerging research suggests patients with intermediate risk for breast cancer recurrence could benefit from post-mastectomy radiotherapy.

Distinguishing between classic and non-classic presentations of isolated adnexal lesions on pelvic ultrasound reportedly had a high specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing ovarian cancer in women at average risk.

In combination with cloud-based data infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, handheld ultrasound devices may have the potential to significantly enhance efficiency for providers and contribute to improved patient outcomes.

Emerging research suggests that mammograms should not be delayed for women who develop unilateral lymphadenopathy after receiving COVID-19 vaccines, and that follow-up imaging is unnecessary for patients who have no history of cancer or suspicious concurrent symptoms.

The iBreastExam, a handheld device cleared by the FDA, reportedly enhances routine clinical breast examinations.
