Could public data speed development of AI for DBT?

By Kate Madden Yee

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) remains one of the trickiest challenges for artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Could this challenge be surmounted if more DBT data were available in public databases? This question was tackled in an August 16 study in JAMA Network Open.

AI or DBT can improve surveillance after breast-conserving therapy

By Erik L. Ridley

Mammographic surveillance after breast-conserving therapy can be improved by digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), or in particular, by artificial intelligence (AI), according to research posted August 11 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

DCIS shows as nonmass enhancement on breast MRI

By Amerigo Allegretto

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed with conventional breast imaging usually showed nonmass enhancement on breast MRI scans, with a larger median span for lesions than mammography and an increased cancer detection rate of 6.2%, in a study published August 3 in Radiology.

Out-of-pocket costs may block women from breast MRI

By Kate Madden Yee

The threat of out-of-pocket costs from breast MRI may negatively affect women at greater risk of breast cancer, blocking their access to needed care, according to a study published July 28 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Kopans: TMIST trial design is biased against DBT

By Amerigo Allegretto

The design of the Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) may be less favorable toward digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and may have unintended consequences for women's health, according to Dr. Daniel Kopans of Harvard University in an analysis published June 24 in Clinical Imaging.

Abbreviated breast MRI bests mammo, ultrasound for 2nd cancers

By AuntMinnie.com staff writers

Abbreviated breast MRI in women with a personal history of breast cancer is more sensitive for the diagnosis of a second breast cancer than mammography or ultrasound, according to a study published June 23 in Academic Radiology.

Breast MRI finds more recurrent cancer

By Kate Madden Yee

Breast MRI does a better job than mammography in detecting recurring cancer in women who have undergone breast conservation therapy, according to a study published June 11 in Plos One.

High BPE on breast MRI linked to BRCA mutation for breast cancer

By Amerigo Allegretto

Background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on breast MRI has already been linked to breast cancer risk in women undergoing mammograms. Now, a new study has found a connection between BPE and genetic mutations that are indicators of higher breast cancer risk.

Breast MRI useful in detecting early interval cancers

By Amerigo Allegretto

Supplemental screening with MRI is a good tool for detecting interval cancers in women with a personal history of breast cancer, with several patient characteristics linked to likelihood of cancer, according to research published June 8 in Radiology.
