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.

Handheld breast ultrasound bests automation in 2nd-look lesion detection

There is limited research comparing HHUS and ABUS in second-look settings despite the fact that these exams are routinely utilized as supplemental imaging tools.

Contrast-enhanced supplemental imaging triggers anxiety for many women

Authors of a new paper contend their findings could be beneficial in adapting public messaging related to supplemental imaging to better inform those who may need it.

Specialized ultrasound technique reduces need for breast biopsies by 25%

Ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-DOT) is a technique that combines the use of ultrasound with near-infrared light to create 3D pictures of tissues.

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.
