Which is more sensitive: breast MRI or whole-breast ultrasound?
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 2 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK02-01 | Room E450AWhich is more sensitive for localizing breast cancer in patients already diagnosed: bilateral whole-breast ultrasound or breast MRI? Which is more specific? Researchers from MD Anderson Cancer Center will address these questions during this Wednesday morning session.

DBT improves biopsy outcomes
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | RC315-14 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this presentation, researchers will describe how adding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to 2D mammography appears to steadily improve the positive predictive value of biopsies.

DBT learning curve diminishes over time
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | RC315-13 | Arie Crown TheaterPractices that are beginning to use digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in combination with 2D mammography can expect to experience a learning curve, according to research conducted at Yale University. But it will diminish over time as radiologists become familiar with the technology.

Synthesized 2D plus DBT yields comparable recall rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | RC315-09 | Arie Crown TheaterUsing synthesized 2D mammography images with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) yields recall rates comparable to those of conventional mammography in combination with DBT, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System report.

Synthetic 2D with tomo reduces radiation dose by 43%
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | BR236-SD-MOB4 | Lakeside Learning Center, Station 4Using reconstructed 2D images with digital breast tomosynthesis decreases radiation dose to patients by more than 40%, according to this Monday afternoon poster presentation.

Annual breast MRI crucial for high-risk women
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | RC215-14 | Arie Crown TheaterResearchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have found that annual breast MRI is a key tool for detecting small, node-negative, invasive cancers in women at high risk for the disease.

ABUS not needed in at-risk women's screening protocol
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:20 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | RC215-10 | Arie Crown TheaterWomen who carry BRCA genes benefit from yearly screening with both MRI and mammography. Because these women can still present with interval cancers, would adding automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) to the mix find more cancers earlier?

CAD improves radiologists' ABUS performance
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | RC215-09 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this study, a Dutch team compared unaided radiologist readings of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) exams with those interpreted using computer-aided detection (CAD) to determine if adding CAD as a "second reader" could help reduce unnecessary recalls.

Breast ultrasound exam quality improves after passage of density law
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:00 a.m.-10:10 a.m. | RC215-08 | Arie Crown TheaterSince the first breast density notification law passed in Connecticut in 2009 -- sparking an increase in breast ultrasound exams as an adjunct to mammography -- there has been a marked improvement in the quality of these exams, with fewer false positives and a higher positive predictive value, according to research to be presented on Monday.

DBT improves screening cancer detection rate
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 9:00 a.m.-9:10 a.m. | RC215-03 | Arie Crown TheaterDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) improves cancer detection rates when the technology is used in an organized breast cancer screening program, according to researchers from Norway.

Screening DBT shows better performance over time
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 8:50 a.m.-9:00 a.m. | RC215-02 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this session, researchers will describe how screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) offers sustainable and continually improving performance, such as increased cancer detection and fewer interval cancers.

Structured reporting app helps residents with breast MRI
By Erik L. Ridley
Wednesday, December 2 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | IN240-SD-WEA2 | Lakeside Learning Center, Station 2Researchers from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center have found that a Web-based structured reporting application helps residents conform to the BI-RADS lexicon in their breast MRI reports.
