DBT reduces callbacks, boosts cancer detection
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-BRS-MO8B | Lakeside Learning CenterThe first five months of using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in a screening practice showed a small reduction in the overall callback rate and a small increase in the cancer detection rate; however, these results were not statistically significant, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania.

CBCT-like angio predicts TACE response a month before MRI
By Eric Barnes
A dual-phase angiography procedure based on conebeam CT (CBCT) principles that was used during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) can predict treatment response in hepatocellular carcinoma tumors long before MRI is traditionally applied at one-month follow-up, researchers wrote in Radiology.
