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.

Eye-tracking reveals radiologists' reading habits when utilizing AI support
Rather than test artificial intelligence's ability to detect malignant lesions on imaging, researchers instead recently explored how it impacts radiologists' interpretation processes.
Survey unearths confusion among women around when to start mammograms
Among 1,600 U.S. adults surveyed, about 49% said they know that age 40 is when women at average risk should begin screening.
Specialized imaging technique offers pain-free, effective alternative to mammograms
The photoacoustic CT, or PACT, imaging technique is said to perform comparably to mammography for cancer detection, but without the discomfort of standard mammograms.
'Powerful' new PET agent improves the diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer
The agent “exhibits powerful tumor delineation” in challenging cases of determining cancer subtypes, and could potentially lead to more personalized, effective treatment strategies.
High resolution DBT exams enhance early cancer detection
Recent advances in imaging technology have built on the momentum DBT utilization has created for early diagnoses.

uterine fibroid embolization w/nerve block

Including nerve blocks in uterine artery embolizations improves likelihood of same-day discharge

The shorter stay doesn't come at the expense of increased post-procedural complications, authors of a new analysis in JVIR recently shared.

What pizza delivery and university radiologists’ new approach to mammography have in common

Consumers can track their pie when it enters the oven, is boxed and departs for delivery. Why can't they do the same with cancer screening results?

Ultrasound-based, teleradiology-backed breast cancer screening program holds promise

China has faced significant challenges improving breast cancer surveillance, including radiologist shortages and poor-quality screening methods, experts wrote in AJR.
