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.

Commercially available AI can spot breast cancer 6 years sooner
“Analyzing the AI scores of screened individuals over time could provide insight into how early detectable changes arise, potentially allowing for earlier intervention," researchers write in Radiology.
Mammography could identify millions of women in need of preventive cardiology care
Experts say these findings could offer radiology providers the opportunity to intervene before cardiovascular conditions worsen.
AI triage tool slashes breast cancer screening workloads by 77%
AI shines as a first reader for ruling out suspicious findings in breast cancer screening exams, a new analysis in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence reveals.
Women on GLP-1 medications may be less likely to develop breast cancer
The study, which was managed by the American College of Radiology, is raising important questions related to the benefits of GLP-1 use.
Wearable ultrasound patch offers continuous monitoring of high-risk pregnancies
Researchers are hopeful that the patch can give providers the data needed to identify critical abnormalities earlier.

Large study finds widespread variability in timeliness of follow-up services after an abnormal screening mammogram

The findings, derived from ACR's National Mammography Database, offer important clues as leaders seek to improve biopsy rates after screenings.

Radiologists pilot one-stop-shop approach to boost imaging rates

This approach can be replicated by radiologist-led teams elsewhere, providing a "high-value, scalable opportunity" to reduce cancer screening disparities.

Forcing patients to ‘opt out’ of screening mammography does not appear to impact adherence

Automatically scheduling patients for breast imaging also created a heavier administrative burden, researchers detailed Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

AI proves a qualified second reader for screening mammography

According to one radiologist, the continued success of AI could make second reads for screening mammograms a thing of the past.

Hospital pauses mammography services after radiologists resign at partner practice over ‘witch hunt’

Physicians at Northern Arizona Radiology reportedly had been forced to work long hours to re-read exams looking for missed cancers.

New study may provide model for assessing AI performance in real-world settings

“It’s vital that imaging centers have a process in place to provide ongoing monitoring of AI once it becomes part of clinical practice,” one expert noted.

‘Immediate attention’ needed to address cancer diagnosis deficits stemming from pandemic

The largest diagnosis deficits were observed for breast, colon and lung cancer, experts detailed in JAMA Network Open.
