There is limited research comparing HHUS and ABUS in second-look settings despite the fact that these exams are routinely utilized as supplemental imaging tools.
Authors of a new paper contend their findings could be beneficial in adapting public messaging related to supplemental imaging to better inform those who may need it.
Ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-DOT) is a technique that combines the use of ultrasound with near-infrared light to create 3D pictures of tissues.
In countries with low to middling gross national incomes, screening mammography appears to be a cost-effective means of minimizing breast cancer’s economic costs and public-health burdens at the population level. However …
Citing low health literacy as a barrier between providers and patients in overcoming healthcare disparities, DenseBreast-info.org updated their breast density materials to include more patient-friendly, “simple language.”
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.
