Ultrasound detects more cancers in high-risk women with dense breasts
By Amerigo Allegretto
Supplemental breast ultrasound may have utility in imaging women with dense breasts and high risk of advanced or invasive breast cancer.
August 6, 2024
Sample images show cancer detection at supplemental ultrasound screening after screening mammography with a negative result. (A) Craniocaudal right breast screening mammography shows negative findings in a 54-year-old female patient with extremely dense breast tissue. (B) Coronal view from supplemental screening with automated whole-breast ultrasound image in the same patient four months later shows an irregular hypoechoic mass (dashed yellow circle) in the right breast, diagnosed as invasive ductal carcinoma. (C) Craniocaudal screening right breast mammography shows negative findings in a 74-year-old patient with heterogeneously dense breast tissue. (D) Antiradial gray-scale image in the right breast from supplemental handheld screening ultrasound in the same 74-year-old patient 7 months later demonstrates an irregular hypoechoic mass in the right breast (yellow outline), which yielded a diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma.

DBT screening leads to earlier cancer detection

Mammo AI falls short to ultrasound in screening dense breasts
By Amerigo Allegretto
Mammography plus ultrasound yields better results than AI-enhanced mammography alone when it comes to screening of women with dense breasts.

Imaging in a 56-year-old woman with heterogeneously dense breasts (BIRADS C). (A) Left craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (right) digital mammograms show no abnormality. (B) Left craniocaudal (LCC, top) and left mediolateral oblique (LMLO, bottom) mammograms with retrospectively applied AI (Lunit Insight MMG, version 1.1.7.1; Lunit) show the lesion was given abnormality scores of 97% and 71%, respectively. The color bar indicates pixel-level abnormality scores corresponding to heatmap contour lines. Breast ultrasound performed the same day was considered negative (not shown). (C) Left craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (right) digital mammograms acquired nine months later show an irregular mass (arrows) in the left breast, which correlates with the heatmap areas scored as 97% and 71% by AI in the earlier screening mammogram (B). The radiopaque round marker denotes the site of the palpable abnormality indicated by the patient. (D) Transverse ultrasound imaging shows an irregular mass (arrow) in the left breast. The patient was treated with breast-conserving surgery, and the mass was proven to be invasive lobular carcinoma. Image courtesy of the RSNA.
