Researchers found that ultrasound-guided injections take less than 10 minutes and have a 98% accuracy rate.February 10, 2020BreastCEDM excels as presurgical diagnosis tool in large studyContrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) may be an excellent choice for staging breast cancer before surgery. The imaging modality had high sensitivity and specificity in a large-scale study published on January 30 in the Breast Journal.February 5, 2020BreastAre women with depression less likely to get mammograms?Women with depression were less likely to have had a mammogram in the past two years, according to a study published online on January 28 in the Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice.

FFDM had better detection of high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ but also a higher recall rate, according to research published on January 28 in Radiology.February 3, 2020UltrasoundUltrasound followed by CT effective for appendicitisUltrasound scans followed by CT if necessary may be the most cost-effective imaging option for patients with suspected appendicitis, according to research published online on January 21 in Pediatrics.
