ABUS not needed in at-risk women's screening protocol
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:20 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | RC215-10 | Arie Crown TheaterWomen who carry BRCA genes benefit from yearly screening with both MRI and mammography. Because these women can still present with interval cancers, would adding automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) to the mix find more cancers earlier?

CAD improves radiologists' ABUS performance
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | RC215-09 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this study, a Dutch team compared unaided radiologist readings of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) exams with those interpreted using computer-aided detection (CAD) to determine if adding CAD as a "second reader" could help reduce unnecessary recalls.

Breast US exam quality improves after passage of density law
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:00 a.m.-10:10 a.m. | RC215-08 | Arie Crown TheaterSince the first breast density notification law passed in Connecticut in 2009 -- sparking an increase in breast ultrasound exams as an adjunct to mammography -- there has been a marked improvement in the quality of these exams, with fewer false positives and a higher positive predictive value, according to research to be presented on Monday.

Can lung nodule scoring systems do better?
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 29 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA04-03 | Room S404CDThe rise of CT lung cancer screening has been accompanied by a few published lung nodule scoring systems, including Lung-RADS and the McWilliams model. But could the models be tweaked to perform better?
