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.

Reimbursement for contrast-enhanced mammography is on the rise
New global survey data suggest organizations have not let the lack of reimbursement affect their decision to implement CEM.
Explainable AI boosts breast cancer detection on MRI
Experts involved in the model's development are hopeful their take on explainable AI can reduce problematic false positive rates common in breast MRI.
RadNet inks AI deal with 1 of Southern California’s largest health networks
Under the agreement, three affiliates of the Heritage Provider Network will reimburse RadNet for its Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection program.
Eye-tracking reveals radiologists' reading habits when utilizing AI support
Rather than test artificial intelligence's ability to detect malignant lesions on imaging, researchers instead recently explored how it impacts radiologists' interpretation processes.
Survey unearths confusion among women around when to start mammograms
Among 1,600 U.S. adults surveyed, about 49% said they know that age 40 is when women at average risk should begin screening.

How radiologists can help identify victims of domestic violence

New analysis details patterns radiologists can look for that may signal a patient is experiencing domestic violence.

FCI scanner more ably detects cancer spread than traditional MRI

New low-field scanner detects cancer spread better than traditional breast MRI

Researchers involved in its development are hopeful that the scanner could eventually lead to improved outcomes in cancer patients who require surgery to remove malignant tissue.

New FDA-cleared algorithm could improve fetal anomaly detection on ultrasound

The module helps automate the detection of eight common fetal anomalies using seven routine ultrasound views of the heart, brain and abdomen.

CDI technique makes breast cancer glow on imaging.

MRI technique makes breast cancer 'glow' on imaging

The technique highlights differences in how water molecules move through cancerous tissue in comparison to healthy tissue.

Commercially insured women less likely to be referred for interventional procedures

“These findings raise the question of whether insurance reimbursement impacts referral patterns for other conditions and specialties, and the extent to which it may outweigh evidence-based care decisions."

Patients fail to undergo follow-up breast imaging services, despite same-day availability

“Understanding the disparities in diagnostic breast imaging can facilitate the development of interventions that aim to close gaps," says Marissa B. Lawson, MD.

Deep learning reconstruction improves breast MRI quality

Deep learning reconstruction cuts breast MRI scan times in half

The use of DLR also provides greater flexibility with protocols in comparison to conventional single-shot echo-planar imaging.

How hormonal status affects background parenchymal enhancement on contrasted mammograms

New research provides detailed insight into how specific factors that impact hormone levels, such as breastfeeding, contraception, medication and menopausal status, alter BPE on CEM.
