Diagnostic screening programs help catch cancer, abnormalities or other diseases before they reach an advanced stage, saving lives and healthcare costs. Screening programs include, lung, breast, prostate, and cervical cancer, among many others.

Opportunistic AI detects colorectal cancer using routine, noncontrast CT
The COlorectal Cancer detection with AI, or COCA, model is a cost-effective, scalable solution that turns routine CT scans into opportunistic exams that can be used to proactively identify CRC.
'Defer to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment experts': Imaging leaders rail against new ACP breast cancer screening recs
Two respected radiology organizations have issued a stark warning on the new recommendations, stating that they risk confusing patients and “may contribute to thousands of additional breast cancer deaths each year.”
New guidelines recommend AI-based breast cancer risk assessments
NCCN suggests that 5-year future breast cancer risk assessments based on routine mammograms should be integrated into standard practices.
Experts call for Lung-RADS updates amid concern about certain incidental findings
New findings from a large CT lung cancer screening dataset reveal that a substantial number of patients have significant incidental findings visible on their scans.
Breast cancer screening rates saw a 10% drop among several groups of women over the last 2 decades
Decreased screening rates among different subgroups highlight the ongoing need for outreach strategies that target vulnerable populations, experts contend.

Patients without PCPs struggle to access lung cancer screening, despite eligibility

It is estimated that up to one-third of the U.S. population does not have a primary care provider.

Breast cancer rates among women in their 30s are on the rise

Screening uptake for younger women has been steadily rising for years. Consequently, so have cancer rates among the population.

AI loaded onto mammography systems can flag possible cancers in real time to speed workflows

A new AI solution offers complete mammography analysis on the imaging system, in the radiology workflow, to reduce the wait time for results.

Over half of eligible women skip their mammogram

According to new survey data, nonadherence is not for lack of concern about the disease—75% of the women surveyed reported being concerned about their breast health.

Breast cancer rates are on the rise, new report reveals

This week, the American Cancer Society’s annual Breast Cancer Statistics report revealed several eye-opening figures.

Breast arterial calcifications (BACs) identified on screening mammograms may help identify women who face a heightened risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to a new analysis published in Clinical Imaging.

Younger women with breast arterial calcifications are at markedly higher risk of major cardiovascular events

Currently, there is no standardized reporting requirement related to BACs, and ACR classifies reporting vascular calcifications on breast imaging as optional.
