Parenchymal enhancement on MRI linked to breast cancer risk
By Kate Madden Yee
Thursday, December 5 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSQ01-05 | Room S406BIn this award-winning session, University of Pittsburgh researchers will discuss how background parenchymal enhancement imaged by dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI provides additional diagnostic information compared with using tumor-derived radiomics data alone.

Is DBT in younger women harmful or helpful?
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 4 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | BR280-SD-WEB7 | Lakeside, BR Community, Station 7The benefits of screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in women between the ages of 40 and 49 outweigh the harms, according to research to be shared Wednesday afternoon.

Screening frequency key influence on recall rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 4 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK01-06 | Room E451BIn this session, researchers will share how age and race strongly influence breast cancer screening recall rates, but screening frequency and modality have greater impact.

Does DBT find more interval cancers?
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 4 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK01-01 | Room E451BDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) finds more breast cancers on screening, but it doesn't necessarily find more interval cancers, according to Norwegian researchers.

How suitable is CESM as a breast MRI alternative?
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 3 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSG01-02 | Room S102CDAt this Tuesday morning session, German researchers will explore how suitable contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is as an alternative to MRI for breast cancer screening.

Breast ultrasound helpful supplement even after DBT
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSE02-06 | Room E451BIn this session, University of Pittsburgh researchers will discuss how whole-breast ultrasound performed by a technologist can find more cancers in women with dense breast tissue even after screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) -- although it does increase the recall rate.

Higher parenchymal uptake on MBI may predict higher cancer risk
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSE01-04 | Room E450AThe level of background parenchymal uptake on molecular breast imaging (MBI) can help predict future breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women, Mayo Clinic researchers have found.

Breast ultrasound useful for average-risk women
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE02-02 | Room E451BIn this scientific session, researchers will discuss how screening breast ultrasound is a useful supplement to mammography in women at average risk of breast cancer, not just those at high risk.

MBI lexicon enhances radiologist interpretation
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | BR230-SD-MOB1 | Lakeside, BR Community, Station 1Understanding the predictive features of molecular breast imaging (MBI) lexicon descriptors improves radiologist interpretation of these exams and allows for appropriate management and follow-up of patients, according to research to be presented Monday afternoon.

Abbreviated breast MRI protocol improves screening outcomes
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, December 2 | 9:05 a.m.-9:15 a.m. | RC215-04 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this talk, Canadian researchers will discuss how an abbreviated breast MRI screening protocol in women with a high risk for breast cancer leads to fewer false positives and benign biopsies when compared with a conventional protocol -- and doesn't compromise the cancer detection rate.
