Dense breast tissue doesn't affect BSGI's sensitivity
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 28 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | MSVM21-12 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this scientific paper presentation, researchers from George Washington University Medical Center will discuss results from their study showing that the sensitivity of breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) is not affected by breast density.

BSGI more sensitive than ultrasound, mammography
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 28 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | MSVM21-08 | Arie Crown TheaterBreast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) has greater sensitivity and comparable specificity compared with ultrasound and mammography, according to researchers at the Hospital of Central Connecticut, and it could be a valuable additional procedure when these imaging modalities fail to provide a clear diagnosis.

Low-dose MBI works just as well in dense breast tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 28 | 9:50 a.m.-10:00 a.m. | MSVM21-07 | Arie Crown TheaterLow-dose molecular breast imaging (MBI) is just as sensitive as conventional-dose MBI in detecting cancers in dense breast tissue mammography misses, according to researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Optical imaging improves mammography's specificity
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 28 | 8:50 a.m.-9:00 a.m. | MSVM21-02 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this Monday morning session, Boston researchers will describe how combining tomographic optical breast imaging with mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis can improve specificity in the early diagnosis of breast cancer and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

DBT plus digital mammography may improve breast screening accuracy
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 27 | 1:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m. | LL-BRS-SU1B | Lakeside Learning CenterAdding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to full-field digital mammography may improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast screening, but more studies are needed, according to researchers at King's College Hospital.

Handheld screening breast US effective in dense breasts
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 27 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | SSA01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterHandheld screening breast ultrasound performed by technologists and offered to women with dense breast tissue does fine in detecting small cancers missed by mammography, although the overall positive predictive value of the modality is low, according to researchers at Yale University.

Interpretation error rate in screening US comparable to mammo, MRI
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 27 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA01-03 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this scientific paper presentation, University of Pittsburgh researchers will discuss how interpretation errors in screening ultrasound are similar in frequency to interpretation errors in mammography and MRI.

BI-RADS 3 lesions common on screening US
By Kate Madden Yee
Sunday, November 27 | 10:55 a.m.-11:05 a.m. | SSA01-02 | Arie Crown TheaterBI-RADS 3 lesions are seen in nearly 20% of participants after three rounds of screening ultrasound, but they are rarely malignant, according to researchers from Southwoods Imaging Center in Youngstown, OH.
