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.

Facility puts mammo services on hold after audit uncovers 'serious' image quality concerns
Women who underwent mammograms at the facility during the specified timeframe may need to have those exams repeated.
Dermal filler recently approved by FDA could skew breast imaging results, experts warn
The filler contains hydroxylapatite microspheres, which may be visible on medical imaging.
New survey explores women’s willingness to pay for breast cancer AI
“Radiology practices may wish to consider these findings when presenting patients with an option to pay for AI interpretation,” experts write in JACR.
FDA suspends medical spa's mammography operations amid 'serious concerns' about quality
Anyone who underwent mammograms at the clinic since late 2023 is urged to take action, as the exam quality likely did not meet clinical standards.
Breast cancer screening rates saw a 10% drop among several groups of women over the last 2 decades
Decreased screening rates among different subgroups highlight the ongoing need for outreach strategies that target vulnerable populations, experts contend.

Machine learning model accurately predicts DCIS upstaging without invasive surgery

Understanding a patient's risk of developing invasive cancer without having to undergo surgery could help patients and providers choose more appropriate treatment plans.

Ultrasound outperforms four other modalities at assessing margins during breast surgery

Although ultrasound came out on top, achieving optimal operator performance could be taxing on resources, doctors cautioned.

Key factors that influence radiology trainees’ interest in breast imaging

Repetitiveness is one of the most common reasons why residents and students avoid the subspecialty, according to new survey data.

Deep learning rivals fellowship-trained radiologists at segmenting breast cancers on MRI

Researchers trained their platforms on more than 60,000 individual breast scans, significantly more than most architectures.

Machine learning uses MRI to predict lymphovascular invasion in breast cancer patients

These algorithms could fill in where postoperative biopsy sometimes falls short, experts explained in Academic Radiology.

70% of breast radiologists surveyed either unsure about or had zero LGBTQ competency training

The finding is part of a survey of 400 breast imaging experts, published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Survey explores radiology practices’ surveillance preferences when monitoring breast cancer survivors

There is “immense variability” in how this is handled in clinical practice, with a lack of evidence-based literature, experts wrote in JACR.

While promising, machine learning still misses 20% of cancers on breast MRIs, analysis shows

AI proved useful for detecting axillary lymph node metastases but isn’t yet ready for clinics, experts said recently.
