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.

AI predicts interval cancer risk based on negative mammograms
The ability to predict interval cancer risk is intriguing for providers, as these cancers are often more aggressive and have worse prognoses.
AI reveals crucial community factors influencing cancer screening rates
Neiman researchers recently scoured for factors that might impact screening rates across cancers of the colon/rectum, lung, breast and prostate, using nationwide Medicare data.
Mammography false positive rates rising, driven by a few key factors
The number of women who had a screening mammogram miss cancer leapt from less than 1 per 1,000 women in 2010 up to as high as 2.5 by 2022.
Dual ultrasound improves diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancies
Utilizing both exams provides greater anatomic detail than using one or the other alone. Doing so could significantly improve patient outcomes, experts charge.
Pre-op MRI may improve breast cancer care for younger patients
Advanced imaging among this patient population could help radiologists better understand the risk of potential cancer recurrence.
