ER-positive cancers have specific ultrasound features
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 2 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSK02-04 | Room E450ABreast cancers that are positive for the estrogen receptor (ER) have particular ultrasound features that can help clinicians decide whether a patient is a good candidate for adjuvant chemotherapy, according to research that will be presented on Wednesday morning.

Which is more sensitive: breast MRI or whole-breast ultrasound?
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 2 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK02-01 | Room E450AWhich is more sensitive for localizing breast cancer in patients already diagnosed: bilateral whole-breast ultrasound or breast MRI? Which is more specific? Researchers from MD Anderson Cancer Center will address these questions during this Wednesday morning session.

FDG-PET/MRI enhances breast cancer diagnosis and staging
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSJ02-01 | Room E450AMultiparameter FDG-PET/MRI can improve the specificity of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, which could lead to more-accurate staging of breast lesions and fewer false positives and unnecessary biopsies.

DBT improves biopsy outcomes
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | RC315-14 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this presentation, researchers will describe how adding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to 2D mammography appears to steadily improve the positive predictive value of biopsies.

DBT learning curve diminishes over time
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | RC315-13 | Arie Crown TheaterPractices that are beginning to use digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in combination with 2D mammography can expect to experience a learning curve, according to research conducted at Yale University. But it will diminish over time as radiologists become familiar with the technology.

PET/MRI leads staging of invasive ductal breast cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSG09-04 | Room S504CDPET/MRI appears to lead the pack for the initial staging of invasive ductal breast cancer, thanks to the combined information provided by PET, diffusion-weighted MRI, and other MRI sequences.

Synthesized 2D plus DBT yields comparable recall rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | RC315-09 | Arie Crown TheaterUsing synthesized 2D mammography images with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) yields recall rates comparable to those of conventional mammography in combination with DBT, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System report.

Annual breast MRI crucial for high-risk women
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | RC215-14 | Arie Crown TheaterResearchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have found that annual breast MRI is a key tool for detecting small, node-negative, invasive cancers in women at high risk for the disease.

Abbreviated breast MRI is sensitive but not specific
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | RC215-13 | Arie Crown TheaterAn abridged breast MR protocol has shown high sensitivity but only moderate specificity in a screening population of women at intermediate and high risk for breast cancer, which could mean high rates of follow-up imaging.
