Survey data underscore need for tailored AI strategies in different healthcare settings
Researchers with UT Southwestern Medical Center recently surveyed over 900 women about how they view the technology's deployment in screening.
Risk-based screening strategy averts more breast cancer deaths, reduces false positives
This new imaging approach has the potential to benefit women with both high and low risk of developing cancer, researchers charge.
Imaging startup announces commercial launch of its portable, wearable breast ultrasound system
Experts believe the system has the potential to "dramatically improve access, speed and accuracy, especially for women with dense breasts.”
ACR outlines key changes in the new BI-RADS guidelines

AI tool's supplemental MRI recs help detect 4 times more breast cancers than density measures

What’s more, many of the cancers detected were invasive or multifocal, making their detection more timely.

Mammography Positioning Improvement Collaborative records dramatic gains in breast image quality

Poor patient positioning can lead to undetected cancer cases and increased costs due to the need for repeat exams, experts detailed in JACR.

Changes in AI-based risk scores identify women at greatest risk of developing breast cancer

The more an individual’s score changes, the greater the odds are of them being diagnosed with cancer in the near future, new research presented at SIIM 2024 suggests.

How having ovaries removed before menopause affects brain structure

These changes are especially prevalent in women who have the surgery before the age of 40, new research suggests.

Applying Node-RADS to breast MRI exams improves staging

The scoring system has shown great utility in predicting lymph node invasion in various cancers, but until recently, its use in patients with breast cancer had not been thoroughly explored.

Hundreds hit Capitol Hill to press Congress for breast imaging payment reform

Those involved want lawmakers to pass three already-proposed bills aimed at improving access to breast MRI, ultrasound and other services.

Radiology practices should consider screening for this concern to boost mammography compliance rates

Research has proven that certain social determinants of health—such as housing instability, costs and insurance—can impact adherence. What about food insecurity?
