Dear Women's Imaging Insider,

At the recent RSNA 2014 meeting, much of the discussion about women's imaging focused on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) -- particularly on how it reduces recall rates.

In this first Women's Imaging Insider of 2015, we're highlighting two such studies from the meeting. One explored whether radiologists' experience affects recall rates in tomosynthesis studies, while the other investigated whether DBT influences recall rates in women undergoing baseline breast cancer screening.

When you've finished our Insider Exclusive, take a look at what else is going on in the Women's Imaging Community:

• Read why Mayo Clinic researchers are excited about molecular breast imaging for dense tissue screening.
• Check out why Canadian researchers believe that race and ethnicity influence the likelihood of women receiving an early diagnosis of breast cancer -- the reason may not be what you'd expect.
• Learn how computer-aided detection for breast CT can be improved.
• Find out how the use of DBT could slash healthcare costs.
• Discover how many of California's primary care physicians are unaware of the state's breast density notification law and what this might suggest about the legislation.

As always, if you have a comment, report, or article idea to share about any aspect of women's imaging, please contact me.
