DBT plus FFDM increases cancer detection rates for high-risk women
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | MSVB31-10 | Arie Crown TheaterUsing full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increases the cancer detection rate in women with dense breasts, according to researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Adding DBT to screening mammography decreases recall rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | MSVB31-08 | Arie Crown TheaterUsing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in combination with full-field digital mammography decreases recall rates during baseline screening mammography of women between the ages of 39 and 56, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.

Interpretation time for DBT acceptable for breast cancer screening
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 9:50 a.m.-10:00 a.m. | MSVB31-07 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this Tuesday morning talk, Oslo University Hospital researchers will discuss their study showing that interpretation time for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is longer than with full-field digital mammography, but it's still acceptable for high-volume batch mode screening.

DBT could replace digital mammo for finding noncalcified lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 29 | 9:40 a.m.-9:50 a.m. | MSVB31-06 | Arie Crown TheaterDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has comparable sensitivity and specificity to standard diagnostic mammographic views for classifying noncalcified breast lesions, and could replace the latter technology, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.

Breast CT plus CAD offers breast screening alternative
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 28 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSE21-04 | Room S403AResearchers at the University of Chicago have determined that breast CT plus computer-aided detection (CAD) could be a viable alternative to traditional breast screening modalities.

Automated whole-breast US finds more cancer than mammo alone
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 28 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE02-01 | Room E450AAutomated whole-breast ultrasound finds cancers in dense breast tissue that mammography alone would not, according to researchers who will present their finding in this Monday afternoon session.

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.
