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.

FDA issues recall of intraoperative imaging system due to safety risks
The system enables surgeons to intraoperatively illuminate cancerous tissue in the breast cavity during lumpectomy surgery.
New care approach cuts breast biopsy referrals by over 50%
Rising imaging volumes have led to an uptick in the unearthing of unexpected breast lesions, with a corresponding jump in follow-up examinations.
First in-human trial testing 4D mammography is officially underway
Experts have suggested the emerging technology could be a “pivotal” tool for the future of breast cancer detection.
Machine learning-based model predicts risk of severe pregnancy complication using MRI data
Placenta accreta spectrum is a serious and sometimes deadly perinatal complication. Instances of the condition have risen in recent decades, potentially due to an increase in cesarean deliveries.
Private equity-backed Solis Mammography opens 3 new locations
The breast imaging group is launching two locations in Texas and marking its first foray into the Raleigh metro area, with more on the way in North Carolina.

AI boosts accuracy when discriminating between malignant and benign ovarian tumors on MRI

Out of three trained and tested models that incorporated varying features, the model that combined clinical and radiomics features to predict malignancy exceeded the others in accuracy, precision and sensitivity.

Ultrasound novices quickly master ‘volume sweep’ breast imaging

In a recent trial, medical students who were trained for two hours or less in an ultrasound “volume sweep” imaging (VSI) protocol obtained diagnostic-quality imaging of palpable breast lesions.

Another mammography team in hot water over image quality

The FDA is notifying patients and referrers of another breast-imaging service’s slide into noncompliance with regulatory standards for image quality.

Radiology operation loses standing to provide mammography services

Screening mammograms are not as effective as they once were

This is a trend that researchers believe will persist as disease management continues to improve.

CEM vs breast MRI: Which is best for assessing treatment response?

A recent analysis of 51 patients revealed that contrast-enhanced mammography and MRI offered comparable assessments of lesion size, and both had similar specificity for pathologic complete response.

Deep learning model boosts trisomy 21 detection on ultrasound images

"Our model is a potential tool to improve the primary trisomy 21 screening based on ultrasonographic images for universal clinical application," experts involved in the study suggested.
