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.

Quantification replaces attenuation measurement for characterizing renal masses
By Eric Barnes
Friday, November 30 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SST07-07 | Room E351Iodine quantification at dual-energy CT is a new diagnostic technique that can reduce the cost of additional tests in the characterization of renal masses, researchers from the University of Messina in Italy have found.

Single-phase CT of the liver sufficient for melanoma surveillance
By Eric Barnes
Friday, November 30 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SST05-05 | Room E353CSingle portal-venous phase CT is adequate for hepatic metastatic disease surveillance in patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma, concluded researchers from Utah, who found that arterial-phase CT didn't provide much additional information.

Study shows pericardial fat is linked to calcified plaque
By Eric Barnes
Thursday, November 29 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSQ01-09 | Room S502ABPatients with higher levels of pericardial fat are also more likely to have more coronary artery calcium and, hence, greater risk of cardiac events, say researchers from the University of California, San Francisco.
