DBT has lower recall rate in large U.S. study
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) had significantly lower recall rates than digital mammography in a study published on March 30 in JAMA Network Open. The modality also had higher rates of breast cancer detection, suggesting the reduction in recalls wasn't because of missed cancer cases.

Shorter MRI works for patients with breast cancer history
Breast MRI with a shorter screening protocol can still help detect cancer recurrence for women with a personal history of breast cancer, according to a study published on March 12 in PLOS One. Abbreviated MRI with an 11-minute protocol identified almost a dozen cancers missed by alternative screening modalities.

What ultrasound scoring system works best in diabetes?
Multiple techniques can be used to assess medial arterial calcification from ultrasound scans in patients with diabetes. However, only one of those techniques can also predict related cardiovascular and diabetes complications, according to a study published on March 6 in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology.
