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.
The photoacoustic CT, or PACT, imaging technique is said to perform comparably to mammography for cancer detection, but without the discomfort of standard mammograms.
The agent “exhibits powerful tumor delineation” in challenging cases of determining cancer subtypes, and could potentially lead to more personalized, effective treatment strategies.
New research adds to the “strong evidence” supporting screening guidelines and highlights the importance of women adhering to clinical recommendations.
Keith J. Dreyer, DO, PhD, FACR, American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute Chief Science Officer, explains 5 developments to watch for in radiology artificial intelligence (AI).
A new study highlights the benefits of MRI for determining pregnancy risks related to placental dysfunction, opening doors for earlier care management.
The responses of 1,948 women aged 40 to 49 were detailed recently in Academic Radiology, where researchers offered detailed insight into what factors influence women at average risk of breast cancer to seek or delay screening at certain ages.

The FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has updated the status of two previously disaccredited mammography operations, rehabilitating the reputation of one while showing the other in limbo.
Since 2006, the FDA has recommended MRI screenings as a way to detect asymptomatic breast implant ruptures—but many patients seem unaware of or are actively ignoring the guidance.
