Ultrasound performance mixed in breast cancer survivors

By Kate Madden Yee

Supplemental screening ultrasound shows a mixed performance in women with a personal history of breast cancer, with lower sensitivity and a higher interval cancer rate. But the modality also had higher specificity, according to a study published online February 25 in Radiology.

10-minute breast MRI scan beats DBT for invasive cancer

By Kate Madden Yee

Breast MRI with an abbreviated scanning protocol -- as short as 10 minutes -- finds more invasive cancers in women with dense tissue than digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), according to a study published online February 25 in JAMA.

Handheld ultrasound edges out ABUS in patient surveys

By Theresa Pablos

Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) can standardize image acquisition and decrease physician workload. But do patients actually like it? A recent study found that women slightly preferred handheld ultrasound to ABUS, but both modalities performed well in patient surveys.

Could contrast mammo supplant CE-MRI for confirming breast cancer?

By Wayne Forrest

Contrast-enhanced (CE) mammography might be better suited than contrast-enhanced MRI for confirming some cases of suspicious breast cancer -- especially when radiation dose-reducing protocols are used, according to a study published February 14 in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Most cysts found on breast ultrasound don't need biopsy

By Kate Madden Yee

Clustered microcysts found on breast ultrasound are at very low risk of developing into cancer and can be safely tracked with imaging rather than biopsied, according to a study published online February 18 in Radiology.

DBT finds more cancers, reduces unnecessary recalls

By Kate Madden Yee

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) found more than twice as many cancers as full-field digital mammography alone or a combination of the two technologies in a recent study, published online February 14 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

AI improves reader performance for ABUS studies

By Erik L. Ridley

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm could potentially help radiologists and other physicians improve their ability to classify lesions on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) exams, according to research published online February 12 in Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology.

MRI finds cancer missed on clinical breast exams

By Theresa Pablos

Breast MRI scans found six cases of breast cancer in high-risk women that had been missed with clinical breast examinations in a recent study, published in the March issue of Clinical Radiology. But the MRI scans also led to more recalls -- in excess of established guidelines.

ABUS delivers better diagnostic performance

By Wayne Forrest

Both automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and traditional handheld ultrasound can significantly improve breast cancer detection when used as an adjunct to mammography in women with dense breasts. But ABUS yields better diagnostic performance, according to research presented at RSNA 2019 in Chicago.

Doubts persist over DBT's clinical impact

By Philip Ward

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is developing fast, but some challenges and questions remain in terms of efficiency, efficacy, safety, and quality assurance, as well as the long-term effect on mortality, two leading researchers have noted in an RSNA 2019 presentation.
