This Finnish company (Hall B, #7142) is developing a full-field digital mammography system that it plans to offer as a retrofit to its installed base of Sophie screening units. Sophie Digital uses charge-coupled device (CCD) technology and a slot-scanning architecture, with resolution of 17 line pairs/mm and a field-of-view of 24 x 30 cm. Planmed hopes to start clinical trials of the system next year in preparation for a regulatory submission to the FDA.
Mammography and Breast MRI: Is it Time to Evaluate Strategies as Opposed to Modalities?
July 5th 2024The combination of mammography with breast MRI within 90 days had a 96.2 percent sensitivity in comparison to 48.1 percent for mammography and 79.7 percent for breast MRI performed within 91 to 270 days after index mammography, according to newly published research.
ACR Collaborative Model Leads to 35 Percent Improvement with Mammography Positioning Criteria
July 1st 2024Noting significant variation with facilities for achieving passing criteria for mammography positioning, researchers found that structured interventions, ranging from weekly auditing of images taken by technologists to mechanisms for feedback from radiologists to technologists, led to significant improvements in a multicenter study.
