Can DBT unseat MRI for screening high-risk women?
By Kate Madden Yee
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has the potential to be a useful tool for screening women with dense breasts. But the fact that it adds more radiation exposure is problematic, especially when compared to MRI, according to a speaker at this week's National Consortium of Breast Centers conference in Las Vegas.

Breast MRI excels at high-risk screening; mammo not needed
By Kate Madden Yee
Breast MRI is three times as accurate as other modalities for diagnosing breast cancer early in high-risk women, and it's so good that mammography isn't needed for annual screening of these women, according to a new study by German researchers published online this week in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Presurgical breast MRI increases mastectomy rate
By Kate Madden Yee
A new research study may fire up the debate over a possible link between preoperative breast MRI and higher mastectomy rates. Texas researchers found that at their facility, patients were almost twice as likely to have a mastectomy if breast MRI was used before surgery. But breast MRI didn't delay treatment, they found.

Adding DBT to mammo increases cancer detection in dense breasts
By Kate Madden Yee
Using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with digital mammography increases radiologists' ability to detect cancer in both fatty and dense breast tissue, but the technology works particularly well with dense tissue, according to researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
