Breast density measurements need to be standardized
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 28 | 5:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | LL-BRS-WE5D | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this poster presentation, a group from the University of California, San Francisco will discuss how laws mandating breast density reporting may cause more confusion than clarity until measuring breast density becomes more standard.

Combining digital breast tomo and FFDM saves money
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 28 | 5:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. | LL-BRS-WE5C | Lakeside Learning CenterAdding digital breast tomosynthesis to full-field digital mammography (FFDM) saves more than $10,000 per 1,000 women screened due to decreased recall rates, Yale University researchers have found.

DBT bests CBCT for identifying noncalcified breast lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 28 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSM01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is better for identifying noncalcified breast lesions, both malignant and benign, than noncontrast conebeam CT (CBCT), and readers are more confident using tomosynthesis to characterize lesions, according to Pennsylvania researchers.

CAD may improve breast ultrasound specificity
By Erik L. Ridley
Wednesday, November 28 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSM01-01 | Arie Crown TheaterThis scientific session will describe how a computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme can help distinguish between benign and malignant masses on breast ultrasound exams.

Combining DBT with FFDM almost doubles reading time
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 28 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | VSBR41-11 | Arie Crown TheaterAdding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to full-field digital mammography (FFDM) almost doubles interpretation time for all breast densities compared with FFDM alone -- with the exception of extremely dense breast tissue, Yale University researchers have found.

Breast cancer screening with DBT reduces cost, lowers dose
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 28 | 10:20 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | VSBR41-09 | Arie Crown TheaterBreast cancer screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) may reduce cost, lower radiation dose, and improve workflow in the diagnostic breast imaging environment, according to researchers from Yale University.

Confusion about breast MRI affects mammography adherence
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 5:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. | LL-BRS-TU2C | Lakeside Learning CenterScreening MRI may negatively affect annual mammography screening, which makes it crucial to teach women that MRI is an adjunct to -- not a replacement for -- annual mammograms, say researchers from Commonwealth Medical College.

Shear-wave elastography improves breast US specificity
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 5:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. | LL-BRS-TU1C | Lakeside Learning CenterShear-wave elastography improves breast ultrasound's ability to distinguish benign from malignant solid breast nodules, according to a study by researchers from the University of Toronto.

'White wall' characteristic on ABUS indicates benign lesion
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterAn echogenic "white wall" in a hypoechoic lesion visualized on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) suggests a benign lesion, and patients may not need to be recalled for further evaluation, according to researchers from George Washington University Medical Center.

ABUS boosts mammography's performance
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ01-04 | Arie Crown TheaterWhat does automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) contribute to cancer screening when it's used with mammography in women with dense breasts? Researchers from the University of Chicago will present findings that address this question on Tuesday afternoon.

US-guided core-needle breast biopsy OK for preop staging
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterWhich is better for assessing metastasis in newly diagnosed breast cancer: fine-needle aspiration or core biopsy? It's an important question, according to Finnish researchers, as the presence of axillary metastasis is the most significant prognostic factor in invasive breast cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer shows specific US characteristics
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSJ01-02 | Arie Crown TheaterCertain ultrasound characteristics can help clinicians identify triple-negative breast cancer, researchers from Chile will report in this scientific session.
