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.

AI model helps discern patients' need for supplemental breast imaging
New findings support the routine use of deep learning-based risk assessments, as this method can decrease subjectivity, reduce unnecessary imaging and improve diagnostic accuracy.
4D mammo may be up to four times more accurate than 3D
The 4D system harnesses X-ray diffraction to measure molecular-level signatures of disease; these tissue “fingerprints” could help providers diagnose breast cancer in its earliest stages.
Financial, logistical reasons to blame for most missed cancer screenings
It may be more than anxiety and forgetfulness to blame for women missing their scheduled mammograms, according to new survey data.
Investigational radiotracer has 'extremely valuable' potential for treating chronic condition
New findings suggest that 99mTc-maraciclatide can help physicians more accurately identify endometriosis on imaging.
Nearly half of women surveyed still think breast cancer screening starts at 50
The responses also suggested that a significant amount of women believe mammograms start before 40, highlighting a gap in screening policy knowledge.

How second pregnancies change the brain

New imaging findings detail how women’s brains change during their second pregnancy, revealing the unique alterations in networks related to attention and response.

Michael Honigberg, MD, MPP, a preventive cardiologist and cardiovascular researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, explains how preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy can elevate cardiovascular risks later in life and how to best manage these patients.

How hypertension during pregnancy impacts a woman's long-term cardiovascular health

Emerging research suggests that the early postpartum period may represent a critical window for influencing a woman's long-term cardiovascular health.

Momentum builds as several states propose supplemental breast imaging legislation in 2026

Hawaii is the latest to introduce legislation aimed at closing coverage gaps, following similar action from Alabama, Arizona, California, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

AI-supported mammography more effective than standard screening, new large-scale study contends

The findings come from Sweden's Mammography Screening with Artificial Intelligence, or MASAI, a randomized clinical trial incorporating over 105,000 women.
