Womens Imaging

Women’s imaging encompasses many radiology procedures related to women and the diseases that are most prevalent to women such as breast cancer or gynecological issues. Mammogram, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and breast biopsy are the most commonly used procedures.

90% of voters polled agree health insurers should cover all recommended breast imaging
A coalition of organizations including the Society of Breast Imaging are seeking support for the Access to Breast Cancer Diagnosis Act.
Breast imaging startup BeSound raises $7M, eyes nationwide clinic rollout
The firm offers technology that combines ultrasound with FDA-approved, near-infrared photo-acoustic imaging.
Radiology Partners supplements regular breast screenings with as-needed—and AI-aided—cardiology referrals
The nation’s largest radiology practice is introducing an AI-based service that can warn women of looming cardiovascular risk whenever they receive a routine screening mammogram.
AI turns mammograms into CVD risk assessments—no outside data required
Thanks to AI, clinicians can use mammograms to do a lot more than identify signs of breast cancer. Researchers explored data from nearly 50,000 patients, presenting their findings in Heart.
Women who miss 1st breast cancer screening much likelier to die from disease
The increased risk of mortality is modifiable, experts believe, and likely attributed to late detection of the disease.

Expert panel develops new breast biopsy guidelines

The recommendations were designed to improve accuracy and safety in diagnosing breast lesions using multiple imaging methods, including DBT, ultrasound and MRI.

Example of the four types of breast tissue density. The density of fibroglandular tissue inside the breast impacts the ability to easily see cancers. Cancers are very easy to spot in fatty breasts, but are almost impossible to find in extremely dense breasts. These examples show craniocaudal mammogram findings characterized as almost entirely fatty (far left), scattered areas of fibroglandular density (second from left), heterogeneously dense (second from right), and extremely dense (far right).

Molecular imaging ups invasive cancer detection in dense breast tissue, spots lesions missed by DBT

The modality often detects clinically important disease that is missed on standard 3D mammogram screening exams.

New study suggests link between birth defects and preconception CT imaging

The findings raise concerns about women who are planning on becoming pregnant and imaging-related radiation exposure in the weeks leading up to conception.
