Mammo CAD enhances interobserver agreement
By Erik L. Ridley
Monday, November 29 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE21-02 | Room S403AIn this scientific session, a research team from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will discuss how adding ultrasound and computer-aided detection (CAD) to mammograms affects reader variability.

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.

High-res ultrasound with elastography beats specimen mammography
By Brian Casey
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSK01-09 | Room E450AExamining excised breast tissue with high-resolution ultrasound elastography could help surgeons confirm tumor-free margins with greater accuracy than specimen mammography, according to this Wednesday morning presentation by German researchers.

Sonoelastography helps identify aggressive DCIS lesions
By Brian Casey
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSK01-08 | Room E450ADetermining which ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions could turn into aggressive cancers is one of breast imaging's biggest challenges. Fortunately, sonoelastography may be able to help, according to South Korean researchers.

Better together in the breast: Sonoelastography and B-mode ultrasound
By Brian Casey
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK01-06 | Room E450ACombining sonoelastography with conventional B-mode ultrasound improves the differentiation of benign and malignant breast masses smaller than 1 cm, according to this presentation by Korean researchers.

Shear-wave elastography improves ultrasound diagnosis of breast masses
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | VB41-13 | Arie Crown TheaterWhen used with B-mode ultrasound, shear-wave elastography -- which quantitatively measures soft-tissue stiffness in real-time -- can improve the modality's specificity without compromising its sensitivity, according to researchers from Imperial College London in the U.K.

Targeted 'second-look' ultrasound finds additional, smaller lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ02-05 | Room E450AUsing ultrasound to take a second look at women with breast cancer who have already undergone mammography and an initial ultrasound can help find additional, smaller malignant lesions, but many of these belong to lower-risk BI-RADS categories, according to researchers from Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid.

Axillary node reporting needs standardized lexicon
By Brian Casey
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ02-03 | Room E450AThe establishment of the BI-RADS lexicon helped standardize reporting of breast lesions; in the same way, a similar lexicon is needed for reporting suspicious lymph nodes found on axillary ultrasound scans, according to this Tuesday afternoon presentation.
