Womens Imaging

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.

North American imaging experts endorse new international breast biopsy guidelines
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.
American College of Radiology criticizes prominent study pushing for new approach to breast cancer screening
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.
Pre-op MRI not necessary for all breast cancer patients, new data suggest
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.
Targeting women eligible for both lung and breast cancer screening pays off
“There is enormous potential here, and the [American Cancer Society] is thrilled with the outcome of this study," one investigators says.
Data show ‘alarming’ rise in invasive breast cancer cases among younger women
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.

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.

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.

PACT could offer painless alternative to mammograms

Specialized imaging technique offers pain-free, effective alternative to mammograms

The photoacoustic CT, or PACT, imaging technique is said to perform comparably to mammography for cancer detection, but without the discomfort of standard mammograms.

'Powerful' new PET agent improves the diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer

The agent “exhibits powerful tumor delineation” in challenging cases of determining cancer subtypes, and could potentially lead to more personalized, effective treatment strategies.

High resolution DBT exams enhance early cancer detection

Recent advances in imaging technology have built on the momentum DBT utilization has created for early diagnoses.
