Road to RSNA 2016: Women's Imaging Preview

By Kate Madden Yee

At this year's RSNA 2016 meeting, attendees will hear how machine learning could be incorporated into women's imaging, perhaps by improving clinicians' ability to assess a woman's breast cancer risk or even by reducing unnecessary biopsies. Presentations will also cover the use of digital tomosynthesis, MRI, and ultrasound for breast cancer detection, and hot topics include breast density, personalized screening, and the debate over mammography screening.

Road to RSNA 2016: Ultrasound Preview

By Kate Madden Yee

At the upcoming RSNA 2016 meeting in Chicago, key themes this year will include how ultrasound can help clinicians make better staging or treatment plans, distinguish between benign and malignant lesions, and track healing. Researchers will discuss the use of telerobotic ultrasound to perform abdominal exams, ultrasound tomography for breast imaging, and more.
