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.

FDA issues recall of intraoperative imaging system due to safety risks
The system enables surgeons to intraoperatively illuminate cancerous tissue in the breast cavity during lumpectomy surgery.
New care approach cuts breast biopsy referrals by over 50%
Rising imaging volumes have led to an uptick in the unearthing of unexpected breast lesions, with a corresponding jump in follow-up examinations.
First in-human trial testing 4D mammography is officially underway
Experts have suggested the emerging technology could be a “pivotal” tool for the future of breast cancer detection.
Machine learning-based model predicts risk of severe pregnancy complication using MRI data
Placenta accreta spectrum is a serious and sometimes deadly perinatal complication. Instances of the condition have risen in recent decades, potentially due to an increase in cesarean deliveries.
Private equity-backed Solis Mammography opens 3 new locations
The breast imaging group is launching two locations in Texas and marking its first foray into the Raleigh metro area, with more on the way in North Carolina.
