Emerging Research in Mammography, Breast MRI, Ultrasound and AI: A Summer Roundup of Key Breast Imaging Studies
Author(s)Diagnostic Imaging Staff
This summer's breast imaging research spanned digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) efficiency gains, AI models that flag cancer risk years before diagnosis, a cautionary study on automation bias, and advances in ultrasound, MRI, and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM). Here is a look back at the most well-viewed breast imaging content of the summer.

In the latest episode of her “Breast Imaging in Focus” series, Manisha Bahl, MD, MPH, FSBI, offer pertinent takeaways for breast radiologists from recently issued guidelines for addressing proliferative breast lesions with atypia and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).
New research suggests that photon-counting CT provides comparable sensitivity to breast MRI for lesion characterization, higher accuracy than MRI for nodal metastasis and lower detection of microcalcifications in comparison to full-field digital mammography.
