Follow-up ultrasound OK for abnormal nodes on breast screening
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 2 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK02-06 | Room E450AFollow-up ultrasound -- rather than additional axillary imaging -- is just fine for tracking abnormal lymph nodes found on screening breast ultrasound, as long as they do not have an extranodal extension, according to researchers from South Korea.

Ultrasound traits of partial molar pregnancy are key to patient care
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSJ11-02 | Room E353BCompared with a complete molar pregnancy, partial molar pregnancy is often underdiagnosed -- making it all the more important for radiologists to be familiar with its sonographic appearance, researchers from the University of Michigan report.

ABUS not needed in at-risk women's screening protocol
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:20 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | RC215-10 | Arie Crown TheaterWomen who carry BRCA genes benefit from yearly screening with both MRI and mammography. Because these women can still present with interval cancers, would adding automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) to the mix find more cancers earlier?
