ABUS detects suspicious lesions found on breast MRI
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSJ01-01 | Arie Crown TheaterAutomated breast ultrasound (ABUS) could prove helpful for evaluating additional suspicious lesions identified by breast MRI, and it's faster and more cost-effective than handheld second-look ultrasound, according to a study that will be presented on Tuesday afternoon.

Second reads for BI-RADS 3 lesions avoid misclassification
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSG02-08 | Room E451AGetting a second read for BI-RADS 3 breast lesions at the time they are categorized can reduce interreader variability and, thus, misclassification, according to this study conducted by researchers at Boston University.

Breast MR more effective in identifying DCIS than BSGI
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSG01-08 | Arie Crown TheaterMRI has higher sensitivity for detecting ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and is more helpful than breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) in cases with no calcification on mammography, according to this Tuesday morning study conducted by Korean researchers.

Does practice site affect mammography recall rates?
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 27 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG02-03 | Room E451AMammography recall rates for individual readers can vary by site, which raises questions about the use of recall rates as a pay-for-performance measure, according to researchers from Brown University.

Adding DBT to mammography lowers recall rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSE02-04 | Room E450AUsing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) as an adjunct to mammography lowers recall rates, according to this Monday afternoon scientific session.

DBT plus mammography equals increased cancer detection
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE02-02 | Room E450AAdding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to mammography can increase the cancer detection rate from 1.5% to 2.3%, researchers from Spain have concluded.

Preop MRI lowers re-excision rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE01-01 | Arie Crown TheaterPreoperative MRI decreases re-excision rates, with no significant difference in mastectomy rates or cancer detection, according to a study to be presented on Monday afternoon by researchers from Emory University.

DBT reduces callbacks, boosts cancer detection
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-BRS-MO8B | Lakeside Learning CenterThe first five months of using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in a screening practice showed a small reduction in the overall callback rate and a small increase in the cancer detection rate; however, these results were not statistically significant, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania.

Breast MRI reduces healthcare costs
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-BRS-MO3B | Lakeside Learning CenterCompared with x-ray and ultrasound, using breast MRI in women with dense breast tissue does add cost. But there's substantial overall savings when breast MRI is used, according to this poster presentation by German researchers.

What's the best way to track women with breast cancer history?
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-BRS-MO4A | Lakeside Learning CenterWomen with personal histories of breast cancer can return to screening breast exams 10 years after their initial cancer diagnosis due to low likelihood of recurring cancer after this follow-up period, according to a poster presentation to be given on Monday.
