Both studies found MRI detected a substantial number of new cancers without increasing biopsy rates.December 6, 2020UltrasoundElastography shows promise for rotator cuff tearsUltrasound with a shear-wave elastography technique was comparable to MRI for preoperative evaluation of rotator cuff tears, according to a Thursday presentation at the RSNA 2020 virtual meeting. Elastography measurements showed moderate correlation with MR metrics in the 60-patient study.December 3, 2020UltrasoundHandheld ultrasound is invaluable for COVID-19 imagingHandheld ultrasound scanners are invaluable tools for performing imaging in patients with COVID-19, according to a Wednesday presentation at the RSNA 2020 virtual meeting. While CT is the optimal imaging modality for COVID-19, radiologists should consider adding ultrasound to their pandemic imaging arsenal, according to a Chinese researcher.December 2, 2020BreastContrast-enhanced mammo can play pivotal diagnostic roleContrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) can play a pivotal role in diagnosing some types of breast cancer, according to research presented at the RSNA 2020 virtual meeting. A new study found CESM yielded 93% accuracy for identifying high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ.December 1, 2020BreastAI catches interval breast cancers missed by radsArtificial intelligence (AI) software could help cut down on the number of interval breast cancers, according to research presented Monday at the 2020 virtual RSNA meeting. An AI program detected more than one-third of breast cancers missed on screening mammography in two different studies.November 30, 2020BreastAlgorithm outperforms top breast cancer risk modelA deep-learning algorithm outperformed a top breast cancer risk assessment model in research presented at the virtual RSNA 2020 meeting. In fact, the algorithm bested the human risk assessment tool using data from mammograms alone.November 29, 2020MRIBreast MRI shows promise for surgical planningPreoperative MRI may lead to better planning for breast cancer surgeries, according to research presented on Sunday at the virtual RSNA 2020 meeting. One team found three MRI features tied to surgical success, while another group showed how preoperative MRI could reduce repeat surgeries.November 29, 2020UltrasoundUltrasound tracks DVT in patients with severe COVID-19Ultrasound was used to track deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevalence in patients treated with mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 in a new study. Consistent sonography helped the team identify the benefit of twice-daily prophylactic medication, according to a November 20 research letter.November 24, 2020UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderNovember 22, 2020Previous PagePage 4 of 22Next PageTop StoriesMRIDeep learning plus MRI predicts likelihood of postpartum hemorrhageAround the world, postpartum hemorrhage is one of the primary causes of complications and fatalities among women.Womens ImagingPersonal tragedies spur unity behind bill for diagnostic breast careMRIFDA cites MRI study in new requirements for COVID-19 manufacturersMolecular ImagingSNMMI: Consider radiation safety when adding F-18 MPI to the radiation oncology suiteCTACS: Half of cancer mortality due to modifiable risk factors
