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.

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

Factors that fuel patients’ failure to follow-up after ‘probably benign’ breast findings

Age, race, whether they underwent MRI or ultrasound, insurance coverage, and other factors correlated with patients no-showing following a BI-RADS 3 designation.

Ultrasound shear-wave elastography predict fetal growth abnormalities earlier than routine obstetric exams.

Shear-wave elastography predicts fetal growth issues earlier than standard of care

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.

Breast cancer only visible via MRI is often less aggressive

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.

MedCognetics CogNet AI-MT technology is the first embedded AI cancer detection system built into the mammography system to eliminate eliminates latency and delivering immediate, high-quality image analysis and can help prioritize exams in the worklist

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.

Prioritizing mammogram reads based on breast density improves radiologist performance

Amid staffing shortages and rising imaging volumes, practices are seeking ways to increase efficiency, and Dutch scientists may have found a solution.
