ABUS plus mammography finds cancer early in women with dense tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterScreening with automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) -- as an adjunct to digital mammography -- detects early-stage, node-negative invasive carcinoma in asymptomatic women with dense breast tissue, according to researchers from George Washington University Medical Center. And finding these cancers could reduce breast cancer mortality rates.

Screening US valuable for women with dense breast tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 10:55 a.m.-11:05 a.m. | SSA01-02 | Arie Crown TheaterScreening ultrasound is a valuable tool for women with dense breast tissue, as errors in mammographic interpretation can be high -- up to 28% according to recent data, researchers from South Korea will report in this scientific session.

US alone compares well to mammography for cancer detection
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 25 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA01-01 | Arie Crown TheaterCould ultrasound serve as the primary screening test for breast cancer? In this Sunday morning presentation, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh will discuss results from a study that used American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) 6666 data to evaluate outcomes of screening if ultrasound were the primary screening modality.

Road to RSNA 2012: Digital X-Ray Preview
By Brian Casey
This year's presentations on digital x-ray at RSNA 2012 illustrate the rapid advances being made in this modality. Radiography's conversion to digital is making possible the use of advanced image-processing tools once reserved for more advanced modalities, raising the possibility of better patient care at lower radiation doses.

Ultralow-dose CT matches chest radiography radiation dose
By Brian Casey
Thursday, November 29 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSQ03-06 | Room S405ABRecent advances in iterative reconstruction have put CT radiation doses within range of those found in chest radiography. So is ultralow-dose CT a realistic alternative to x-ray for chest studies? Researchers from Rikshospitalet at the University of Oslo wanted to find out.
