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.
Though this finding is relatively uncommon, it is expected that the BI-RADS 6th edition ultrasound lexicon will include it as a feature associated with malignancy.
Only 43% of women with disabilities receive American Society of Breast Surgeons-recommended mammography screening services, according to a new single-center study.
Understanding which women have the greatest short-term risk could enable providers to implement targeted screening strategies to ensure malignancies are caught at the earliest possible stage.
When counseling patients with architectural distortion on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) but no signs of malignancy on biopsy, mammographers should raise imaging alone as a sound option for surveillance.
In an analysis of nearly 500 women, more than 17% of pregnancy terminations were due to major structural anomalies of the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, abdomen, skeleton or urogenital system of the fetus.
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.
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.
