In a recent interview, Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, shared her perspective on recent changes to the BI-RADS system, offering insights on contrast-enhanced mammography, reporting changes for breast MRI and ultrasound, and the importance of auditing for BI-RADS category 3 assessments.
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.
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.
