BSGI improves breast cancer detection -- but biopsies may still be needed
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 29 | 9:05 a.m.-9:15 a.m. | VM21-04 | Arie Crown TheaterBreast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) improves the detection of breast cancer, but the modality doesn't do away with the need for biopsy when indicated by mammography or ultrasound, according to researchers from Weinstein Imaging Associates in Pittsburgh.

MBI three times as effective as mammo in dense tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Molecular breast imaging (MBI) finds three times as many cancers as conventional mammography in women with dense breasts, according to a new study published online in Radiology. The results are welcome news for this population, in which mammography appears to be less sensitive.

Targeted ultrasound best for biopsy after incidental breast MRI findings
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 1 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSM02-02 | Room E450ABreast MRI can find additional lesions when used as an adjunct to mammography and ultrasound, but it's also associated with a higher false-positive rate, according to Italian researchers. Using targeted ultrasound with these incidental MRI lesions offers a way to reduce false positives.
