Screening mammography utilization rises among Medicare beneficiaries
By Kate Madden Yee
Friday, December 2 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SST01-06 | Room E450BThe utilization rate of screening mammography per 1,000 women in the Medicare population is rising, although the rate of diagnostic mammography is falling, according to researchers at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.

3T breast MRI bests 1.5T in detecting additional cancer
By Kate Madden Yee
Thursday, December 1 | 9:20 a.m.-9:30 a.m. | MSVB51-05 | Room E451BThree-tesla breast MRI appears slightly better than 1.5-tesla in detecting suspicious lesions in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, according to researchers at Yale University.

CBCT comparable to MRI in classifying breast lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 30 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSM01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterResearchers at the University of Pittsburgh have found that conebeam CT (CBCT) and MRI are comparable in their ability to classify breast lesions as benign or malignant.

DBT more accurate than FFDM in interpreting mammographic signs
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 30 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSK01-09 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this Wednesday session, researchers will present their results on how digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) better visualizes some mammographic lesions with nonspecific features on full-field digital mammography (FFDM).

DBT plus FFDM increases cancer detection rates for high-risk women
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | MSVB31-10 | Arie Crown TheaterUsing full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increases the cancer detection rate in women with dense breasts, according to researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Adding DBT to screening mammography decreases recall rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | MSVB31-08 | Arie Crown TheaterUsing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in combination with full-field digital mammography decreases recall rates during baseline screening mammography of women between the ages of 39 and 56, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.

Interpretation time for DBT acceptable for breast cancer screening
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 9:50 a.m.-10:00 a.m. | MSVB31-07 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this Tuesday morning talk, Oslo University Hospital researchers will discuss their study showing that interpretation time for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is longer than with full-field digital mammography, but it's still acceptable for high-volume batch mode screening.

DBT could replace digital mammo for finding noncalcified lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 9:40 a.m.-9:50 a.m. | MSVB31-06 | Arie Crown TheaterDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has comparable sensitivity and specificity to standard diagnostic mammographic views for classifying noncalcified breast lesions, and could replace the latter technology, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.
