Ultrafast breast MRI determines malignant from benign markers

By Amerigo Allegretto

Ultrafast breast MRI can differentiate between markers associated with malignancy.

April 9, 2025

(A) Ultrafast MR image obtained 14 seconds after aortic enhancement shows 0.4-cm focus (arrow) in the left breast at 3-o’clock position, 4.5 cm from index cancer (not shown). (B) Ultrafast MR image obtained 23 seconds after aortic enhancement shows wash-in (arrow) of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE). (C) and (D) On first standard postcontrast subtraction MR images, focus (arrow, C) and BPE (arrow, D) are indistinguishable. MRI-guided biopsy of focus yielded grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma.

AI bests rads in finding breast cancer in women with personal history

By Amerigo Allegretto

AI may have a role in finding contralateral disease in women with a personal history of breast cancer.

April 8, 2025

Images depict a 65-year-old patient with contralateral second breast cancer 6.3 years after right mastectomy. (A) Left craniocaudal and (B) mediolateral oblique mammograms assessed as benign. (C) The AI algorithm outlined a lesion with a score of 31 on the craniocaudal view. (D) A supplemental axial ultrasound scan, which was obtained on the same day as the mammogram, shows an irregular hypoechoic mass (arrows) in the left upper central breast. (E) Preoperative sagittal contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI scan shows the corresponding enhancing mass (arrow) in the left upper center. The mass was proven to be ductal carcinoma in situ.

AIUM: Lymphosonography finds SLNs in cervical, vulvar cancer patients

By Amerigo Allegretto

Lymphosonography can detect sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in cervical and vulvar cancer patients scheduled for surgery.

April 3, 2025

Priscilla Machado, MD, presents her team's research at AIUM 2025, showing how lymphosonography can be a useful tool in assessing sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in women with cervical or vulvar cancer.

MRI radiomics model predicts risk in women with DCIS

An MRI-based radiomics model shows potential for distinguishing low- from high-risk cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer.

AIUM: Ob/gyn gaining ground on radiology in gynecologic ultrasound

By Amerigo Allegretto

Radiology still dominates in interpreting gynecologic ultrasound, but there’s more parity now among specialties providing this service.

April 1, 2025

Morgan Snow, MD, explains her team's results showing how while radiology is still the dominating specialty in providing gynecologic ultrasound services, ob/gyns are gaining ground.

AIUM: Aspirin use in pregnancy not linked to fetal ductal constriction

By Amerigo Allegretto

Echocardiography shows that the use of low-dose aspirin during pregnancy is not tied to fetal ductal constriction.

March 30, 2025

Nkechinyelum Ogu, MD, presents her team’s findings showing that aspirin use among pregnant women is not tied to more severe fetal ductus arteriosus constriction and other complications.

Do radiologists trust mammography AI software?

By Erik L. Ridley

A large-scale prospective trial exploring the use of mammography AI software in a breast cancer screening program has found that recalls were lower when cases were flagged by AI.

March 18, 2025

Full-field digital screening mammograms in participants recalled by the consensus discussion after being flagged by artificial intelligence (AI) computer-aided detection (CAD) but not by either of the two radiologists. (A) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 73 for a 55-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 3 in situ cancer and T1 (9-mm) invasive cancer in the left breast and lymph node metastasis. (B) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 54 for a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 2 in situ cancer and T1 (6-mm) invasive cancer in the right breast and without lymph node metastasis.
