Women who opt for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) over mammography alone are likely to see lower recall rates, improved quality measures and shorter times to biopsy, researchers reported in Academic Radiology this month.

Some women who undergo mammography fail to keep up to date with other recommended preventive health services, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Can imaging providers do something to help those patients?

Patients with limited English proficiency are 4 percent less likely to receive a prompt MRI, according to research published this week in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
