Women who prioritize annual mammograms starting at the age of 40 have the greatest chance of catching, treating and surviving breast cancer, a study published this month in the Journal of the American College of Radiology suggests.

The country's first "no compression" breast imaging unit opened May 16 at the Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center (KCBC) in Tennessee, according to WFMYNews2 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

More than 41 percent of women with dense breasts will choose to forgo supplemental breast MRI after receiving a negative mammography screening, according to a study recently published in Clinical Radiology.

Researchers have found that quantitative radiomics can better distinguish between benign lesions and luminal A breast cancers than using maximum linear size alone, according to a study published May 10 in Academic Radiology.

Researchers have found that younger women are more likely to receive a poor prognosis after being diagnosed with breast cancer following mammogram screening.

Automated and clinical Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) density can similarly detect and predict breast cancer, according to a study published May 1 in Annals of Internal Medicine. The two methods also perform similarly in measuring breast density.

Obligate overdiagnosis rates of mammographic screenings are strongly dependent on a women's age at the time of the noninvasive breast exam, according to a study recently published in Radiology.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) and Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) have published new breast cancer screening guidelines, once again recommending that all women begin annual screening at age 40.
