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.

Emerging research from the RSNA conference suggests that two-dimensional mammography would only detect 41 percent of detectable breast cancer.

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.

In a multicenter study involving over 747,000 women who had mammography screening, those who paid for AI-enhanced screening had a 21 percent higher recall rate and a 15 percent higher positive predictive value (PPV) for breast cancer, according to research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
