In a study of over 800 women with breast cancer, researchers found that African-American women had a higher rate of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and were less likely to have irregular masses in screening exams in comparison to non-Latina White women.

Emerging research showed the combination of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with perfluorobutane and modified 2017 LI-RADS criteria had comparable sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) approaches to detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions.

The Sonimage MX1 Platinum device reportedly offers a number of features to provide optimal ultrasound image resolution in a variety of point-of -care settings.

In a recent video interview, Thomas Marini, MD discussed the need for ultrasound access to facilitate breast cancer screening in underserved populations and the potential utility of volume sweep imaging, a handheld ultrasound technique that requires minimal training and has a high rate of agreement with conventional ultrasound on BI-RADS assessments.

Reviewing data from over 4 million patients who presented to emergency departments with suspected urinary stone disease between 2012 and 2018, researchers noted a greater than 10 percent decrease in visits with no imaging study and a greater than 10 percent increase in visits with CT imaging.
