ECR 2021: Top Three Tips for Breast Imaging

A fully convolutional data description (FCDD) model for identifying anomalies on breast MRI demonstrated an 84 percent AUC for detection tasks in a balanced cohort with a 20 percent malignancy prevalence and a 72 percent AUC for detection tasks in an imbalanced group with a 1.85 percent cancer prevalence.

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.
