For DBT breast cancer screening, 47 percent of radiologist-only flagged false positives involved mass presentations whereas 40 percent of AI-only flagged false positive cases involved benign calcifications, according to research presented at the recent American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) conference.

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.

Seniors who had at least one prior screening mammography exam in the five years prior to breast cancer diagnosis were over a third less likely to die from breast cancer, according to new research.

In the second episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recent studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that suggested moving to more of a risk-adapted model for mammography screening.

A systematic review of 147 clinical trials assessing neoadjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer also revealed that mid-treatment imaging was utilized in 56 percent of the studies.

While standalone AI interpretation offered over 10 percent higher sensitivity than radiologists for patients undergoing post-mastectomy surveillance mammography, it missed over 30 percent of breast cancers.
