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 group was recently asked to provide input on a new set of recommendations for image-guided biopsies of suspicious breast lesions—offering providers clarity on key clinical scenarios.
Published Friday in JAMA, scientists recently explored a risk-based mammography tactic that tailors regular imaging regimens to each individual’s danger of developing the disease.
In some cases, it may actually be more beneficial for this group of women to forego the extra scans, as they can lead to additional testing, costs and potentially delays in care.
Between 20% to 24% of all breast cancers diagnosed during a decade-long period were found in women between the ages of 18 to 49, according to research presented at RSNA 2025.
Radiology and other specialties should reimagine a system requiring numerous separate visits for breast, lung, prostate, cervical, colorectal, and skin cancer, editorialists argued.
The DBT-based combined radiomic nomogram achieved a specificity of nearly 95% when predicting lymphovascular invasion, which was higher than other clinical predictive models.
The downward trend in annual mammography adherence should serve as a call to action for new processes to engage breast cancer survivors, physicians urged.
Such diagnoses were higher among community practices compared to academic institutions, with lack of subspecialty training a likely underlying factor, experts wrote in JACR.
Researchers revealed the MRI findings were associated with worse externalizing behavior scores in children with prenatal alcohol exposure and are a cause of concern for pediatric brain development.
Those include Radiology Partners, Solis Mammography, Cleveland Clinic, Stanford Health Care and Intermountain, among others, the college announced Thursday.
Digital breast tomosynthesis exams produce fewer false positive results than standard two-dimensional mammography, though not substantially, experts shared recently in JAMA Open Network.
