Risk analysis could help triage women for mammography
Prioritizing which women receive breast screening based on their risk factors could enable breast centers to focus on the patients who need screening most during backlogs such as what occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic according to a new study.

Study claims breast centers flout mammography screening guidelines
A new study published March 15 in JAMA Internal Medicine claims that breast cancer centers are promoting mammography screening for women in their 40s, contrary to guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Imaging experts are disputing the findings.

Clinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion type
By Kate Madden Yee
The modality correctly diagnoses dermoids and simple cysts, but is not as effective at identifying other types of adnexal lesions.
February 11, 2026
Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.

Super-resolution deep learning reconstruction improves CCTA
By Will Morton
The commercially available image reconstruction algorithm outperformed standard hybrid iterative reconstruction for assessing coronary stenosis.
February 10, 2026
Images from two representative cases. (A-C) Images in an 82-year-old man with a calcified plaque in the proximal segment of the left anterior descending artery. (A, B) Curved planar reconstruction images from CCTA with (A) hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) and (B) super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) show that the measured PDS was 66% for the HIR image and 42% for the SR-DLR image. (C) Quantitative analysis of the invasive coronary angiography (ICA) image (reference standard) revealed a PDS of 34% (arrow). (D-F) Images in a 37-year-old woman with a noncalcified plaque in the middle segment of the left circumflex artery. (D, E) Curved planar reconstruction images from CCTA with (D) HIR and (E) SR-DLR show that the measured PDS was 47% for the HIR image and 80% for the SR-DLR image. (F) Quantitative analysis of the ICA image revealed a PDS of 72% (arrow). Blue, red, and yellow lines in A, B, D, and E represent the proximal reference point, stenosed lesion, and distal reference point, respectively, and the insets show the corresponding cross-sectional images.
