Sectra readies RSNA introductions

Swedish PACS and digital mammography vendor Sectra will bring a number of new additions to its product portfolio to the 2010 RSNA meeting in Chicago.

In RIS/PACS activities, the Linköping-based vendor will introduce offerings designed to provide vendor-neutral data sharing. Built on the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) XDS-I profile for cross-enterprise sharing, Sectra users will be able to gain immediate access to all clinical data from any connected discipline, independent of location or RIS/PACS vendor, Sectra said.

Sectra will also debut Sectra Order Management for the northern European market. The application allows electronic requests to be created and transferred directly into the radiology workflow, according to the vendor.

In developments with its MicroDose Mammography full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system, Sectra will present the latest findings from the clinical evaluation of tomosynthesis and spectral imaging technology.

The firm said it will also highlight new features and functionalities within MicroDose Mammography, including a laser-based needle examination add-on for lesion localization during preoperative planning, additional detector enhancements to further increase dose efficiency and image quality, and support for Sectra's remote monitoring service.

Sectra will also showcase new securely encrypted data transfer technology for its mobile MicroDose system.

(A) Free-response receiver operating characteristic (FROC) curve for DBT-DINO and DINOv2 (Meta AI) on the detection task. DINOv2 achieved higher sensitivity than DBT-DINO across most false-positive thresholds. (B) Detection rates of DBT-DINO and DINOv2 for lesions that were ultimately found to be benign (n = 70) and lesions that were found to be cancerous (n = 66). Error bars represent 95% CIs estimated via patient-level bootstrapping with 1000 repetitions. Both models showed similar detection rates for cancerous lesions, whereas DINOv2 detected more benign lesions than DBT-DINO. (C) Example bounding box predictions for DBT-DINO and DINOv2 on the detection test set. Each image is a single two-dimensional section from a three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis volume; the first column shows a mediolateral oblique view, and the second and third columns show craniocaudal views. Both models struggled to detect very small lesions, such as the 3-mm-diameter lesion shown in the first column. FP = false positive.

Images in a 70-year-old asymptomatic woman with a prior excisional biopsy in the left breast yielding lobular carcinoma in situ 3 years earlier. Screening contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) was performed, which was considered a prevalence screen as the woman had no prior breast MRI in the past 3 years and no prior CEM. (A) Low-energy (26–30 kVp) mediolateral oblique (MLO) and (B) craniocaudal (CC) views show surgical clips but no abnormality. (C) Recombined MLO and (D) CC images show an enhancing mass in the medial left breast (arrows). Biopsy revealed invasive lobular carcinoma. Size was 0.2 cm; tumor grade II/III; negative lymph nodes; and estrogen receptor–positive, progesterone receptor–positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative.

Incorrect AI suggestions influence reader performance on mammography
By Amerigo Allegretto
The biggest impact on reader performance stemmed from false-negative AI suggestions.
July 14, 2026
A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.
