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.
Rather than test artificial intelligence's ability to detect malignant lesions on imaging, researchers instead recently explored how it impacts radiologists' interpretation processes.
The photoacoustic CT, or PACT, imaging technique is said to perform comparably to mammography for cancer detection, but without the discomfort of standard mammograms.
The agent “exhibits powerful tumor delineation” in challenging cases of determining cancer subtypes, and could potentially lead to more personalized, effective treatment strategies.
It has long been believed that hormone therapy could have neuroprotective effects on the brain. However, new data suggests that this isn't the case for every woman.
Age, race, whether they underwent MRI or ultrasound, insurance coverage, and other factors correlated with patients no-showing following a BI-RADS 3 designation.
In recent years, shear-wave elastography has emerged as an imaging option that can provide greater detail into tissue health. Experts recently found that it is especially beneficial for fetal exams.
The heightened sensitivity of MRI is beneficial in that it allows for earlier detection of cancers, but it also presents challenges for providers tasked with managing patients’ care plans.
