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.

By Brian Casey
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSK01-06 | Room E450ACombining sonoelastography with conventional B-mode ultrasound improves the differentiation of benign and malignant breast masses smaller than 1 cm, according to this presentation by 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.

Ultrasound-guided dry needling reduces pain from plantar fasciitis
By Brian Casey
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ16-04 | Room E451BIn this Tuesday afternoon session, U.K. researchers will discuss the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided dry needling to relieve pain in plantar fasciitis cases that have been resistant to more conservative treatment methods.

Targeted 'second-look' ultrasound finds additional, smaller lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ02-05 | Room E450AUsing ultrasound to take a second look at women with breast cancer who have already undergone mammography and an initial ultrasound can help find additional, smaller malignant lesions, but many of these belong to lower-risk BI-RADS categories, according to researchers from Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid.

Axillary node reporting needs standardized lexicon
By Brian Casey
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ02-03 | Room E450AThe establishment of the BI-RADS lexicon helped standardize reporting of breast lesions; in the same way, a similar lexicon is needed for reporting suspicious lymph nodes found on axillary ultrasound scans, according to this Tuesday afternoon presentation.

Interactive breast ultrasound CAD improves lesion characterization
By Erik L. Ridley
Tuesday, November 30 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSG01-05 | Room E450AIn this paper presentation, a Canadian research team will share details on why computer-aided detection (CAD) can be a useful adjunctive tool for interpreting breast ultrasound studies.

MRI grows as go-to modality after equivocal ultrasound
By Brian Casey
Tuesday, November 30 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG08-03 | Room S402ABIf an abdominal ultrasound is equivocal, which imaging modality are radiologists turning to? Increasingly, the answer to that question is MRI, according to this Tuesday morning presentation by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

3D/4D ultrasound helps clarify fetal abnormalities
By Brian Casey
Monday, November 29 | 9:20 a.m.-9:30 a.m. | VP21-04 | Room N230Fetal ultrasound with a 3D/4D scanner can produce stunning images, but are they of clinical value? In this Monday morning presentation, Egyptian radiologists will discuss how the technology helped expecting parents understand the nature of anomalies in fetuses.
