Tomosynthesis: An alternative to MRI for evaluating breast masses?
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 3 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | VSBR31-12 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this Tuesday morning scientific session, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh will present findings from a study that compared lesion visibility and diagnostic accuracy using MRI, tomosynthesis, conebeam CT, and full-field digital mammography.

Tomosynthesis adds to mammography interpretation time
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 3 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | VSBR31-10 | Arie Crown TheaterAdding tomosynthesis to mammography for breast cancer screening increases interpretation time when compared with conventional digital mammography alone, according to researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital.

Synthetic 2D mammograms comparable to conventional FFDM with tomo
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 3 | 10:00 a.m.-10:10 a.m. | VSBR31-08 | Arie Crown TheaterRadiologists reviewing synthetic 2D mammograms produced on a tomosynthesis system had reading performance comparable to those interpreting standard full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in combination with tomosynthesis, according to a study to be presented Tuesday.

Tomo makes final cancer assessment categories more accurate
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSE02-06 | Room E450AUsing tomosynthesis for diagnostic breast imaging can reduce the number of patients categorized as BI-RADS 3 -- and therefore reduce the number of women who return for follow-up, according to research to be presented in this Monday afternoon session.

By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSE02-04 | Room E450ABreast tomosynthesis performs particularly well at visualizing noncalcification breast cancers in patients who are in the middle of the dense tissue spectrum, Connecticut researchers have found.

Tomo beats mammography for finding early-stage cancers
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSE02-03 | Room E450AIn this scientific session, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital will present a study that compared the performance of tomosynthesis and conventional mammography in finding and characterizing biopsy-proven invasive cancers.

Abridged breast MRI protocol finds cancer just fine
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 9:30 a.m.-9:40 a.m. | VSBR21-06 | Arie Crown TheaterA shorter breast MRI protocol is better tolerated by patients, improves throughput, and has high sensitivity for detecting known ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma, New York-based researchers have found.
