Take a virtual tour around the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting to see the sights and new technologies displayed across the vast exhibit hall floors.
Such roving imaging vans have been posed as a way to reach more women in rural and underserved communities. But do they unintentionally hurt facility-based efforts?
Between 2004 to 2021, the biggest annual percentage increase in incidence of metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis was among women ages 20-39 (up 2.9%).
Patients with asymmetries on CEM typically are recalled for additional views, ultrasound and occasionally MRI. But the extra workup might not be necessary.
Assessing more than 11,000 patients with lesions designated as BI-RADS 4, radiologists using digital breast tomosynthesis found no significant diagnostic advantages over standard 2D mammography.
Providers screening women with dense breasts and benign breast disease should consider individualized mammogram protocols for these patients, authors of the study suggested.
The FDA has OK’d two subsidiaries of Los Angeles-based RadNet to sell medical AI software—one product for diagnosing breast cancer, the other for streamlining MRI prostate reporting workflows.
Combining ensemble AI models with reads from breast radiologists of mixed experience levels can help health systems consistently diagnose malignant architectural distortion on mammography.
Researchers have developed a prediction model that takes into account both imaging (post-NAC breast MRI) and clinical-pathologic features when forecasting patients' overall survival.
Of the 51 plans, just 31% were consistent with the USPSTF recommendations pertaining to the starting age and frequency of screening women who are at average risk of developing breast cancer.
