'White wall' characteristic on ABUS indicates benign lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterAn echogenic "white wall" in a hypoechoic lesion visualized on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) suggests a benign lesion, and patients may not need to be recalled for further evaluation, according to researchers from George Washington University Medical Center.

ABUS boosts mammography's performance
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ01-04 | Arie Crown TheaterWhat does automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) contribute to cancer screening when it's used with mammography in women with dense breasts? Researchers from the University of Chicago will present findings that address this question on Tuesday afternoon.

US-guided core-needle breast biopsy OK for preop staging
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterWhich is better for assessing metastasis in newly diagnosed breast cancer: fine-needle aspiration or core biopsy? It's an important question, according to Finnish researchers, as the presence of axillary metastasis is the most significant prognostic factor in invasive breast cancer.

ABUS detects suspicious lesions found on breast MRI
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSJ01-01 | Arie Crown TheaterAutomated breast ultrasound (ABUS) could prove helpful for evaluating additional suspicious lesions identified by breast MRI, and it's faster and more cost-effective than handheld second-look ultrasound, according to a study that will be presented on Tuesday afternoon.

Annual breast US benefits women with dense tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | SSA01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterSince the 2009 passage of the breast density notification law in Connecticut, radiologists have a legal obligation to inform patients with mammographically dense breast tissue that they may benefit from the addition of screening breast ultrasound. But how effective is that second round of screening?

Contrast-enhanced US tracks cancer response to drug therapy
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA21-04 | Room S405ABVolumetric contrast-enhanced ultrasound can track positive early cancer response to systemic drug therapy, according to a presentation to be given by researchers from the University of Alabama on Sunday morning.

ABUS plus mammography finds cancer early in women with dense tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterScreening with automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) -- as an adjunct to digital mammography -- detects early-stage, node-negative invasive carcinoma in asymptomatic women with dense breast tissue, according to researchers from George Washington University Medical Center. And finding these cancers could reduce breast cancer mortality rates.
