Nonradiologists drive rapid growth in musculoskeletal ultrasound
By Brian Casey
Thursday, December 2 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSQ12-02 | Room E451AOne of the great things about ultrasound is that its portability and simplicity make it easy to use compared to other imaging modalities. But that might not be so great from a healthcare utilization perspective, according to researchers from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, who found that nonradiologists are utilizing ultrasound at a dramatically higher rate than radiologists.

Targeted ultrasound best for biopsy after incidental breast MRI findings
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 1 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSM02-02 | Room E450ABreast MRI can find additional lesions when used as an adjunct to mammography and ultrasound, but it's also associated with a higher false-positive rate, according to Italian researchers. Using targeted ultrasound with these incidental MRI lesions offers a way to reduce false positives.

Sonoelastography helps identify aggressive DCIS lesions
By Brian Casey
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSK01-08 | Room E450ADetermining which ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions could turn into aggressive cancers is one of breast imaging's biggest challenges. Fortunately, sonoelastography may be able to help, according to South Korean researchers.

Elastography CAD application equals radiologist interpretation
By Brian Casey
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK12-06 | Room N229In a positive early finding, South Korean researchers found that the use of a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm to generate ultrasound elasticity scores in thyroid scans worked as well as radiologists generating the scores on their own.

Shear-wave elastography improves ultrasound diagnosis of breast masses
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | VB41-13 | Arie Crown TheaterWhen used with B-mode ultrasound, shear-wave elastography -- which quantitatively measures soft-tissue stiffness in real-time -- can improve the modality's specificity without compromising its sensitivity, according to researchers from Imperial College London in the U.K.
