Satellite Meetings at RSNA for Providers Interested in TMIST
Large-scale breast cancer screening trial will compare tomosynthesis and digital mammography.
The Tomosynthesis Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) by the ECOG-AGRIN Cancer Research Group is now recruiting medical facilities with an estimated open trial date of mid 2017.
The first large-scale breast cancer screening trial in nearly 25 years has been approved for funding by the National Cancer Institute and will enroll 165,000 asymptomatic women in the U.S. and Canada between ages 45 and 74. The trial is aimed at comparing the incidence of advanced cancers in those screened for four years with digital breast tomosynthesis vs. standard digital mammography.
TMIST will require nearly 100 sites with an estimated four to five women per day to reach the accrual goal in three years, according to a release.
Participation eligibility includes:
• U.S.- or Canada-based medical facility
• Able to provide digital breast tomosynthesis and standard digital mammography in the same location
• Member of a research group in the NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) either directly or through the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)
Interested medical providers can attend one of two available TMIST information sessions at RSNA 2016:
TMIST Satellite Session One
Monday, Nov. 28, 1:30-2:30 in McCormick Place – W470a
TMIST Satellite Session Two
Wednesday, Nov. 30, 11:00-12:00 in McCormick Place – W192b
Preregistration is not required.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Mammography-Based AI Abnormality Scoring May Improve Prediction of Invasive Upgrade of DCIS
April 9th 2024Emerging research suggests that an artificial intelligence (AI) score of 75 or greater for mammography abnormalities more than doubles the likelihood of invasive upgrade of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy.
Mammography Study: AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection and Reduces Reading Time with DBT
April 3rd 2024An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated more than 12 percent higher specificity and reduced image reading time by nearly six seconds in comparison to unassisted radiologist interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images.
