Catch up on the top radiology content of the past week.

In the latest episode of her “Breast Imaging in Focus” series, Manisha Bahl, MD, MPH, FSBI, offer pertinent takeaways for breast radiologists from recently issued guidelines for addressing proliferative breast lesions with atypia and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).

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.
