From Breast Cancer Diagnosis to Treatment Plan in the Same Place, Same Team, Same Day
2020 09 Mar
The time between a suspicious screening mammogram and a diagnosis and treatment plan can be weeks, leading to stress and anxiety for women. A hospital in France developed a unique one-stop breast cancer clinic that can confirm a positive finding, including biopsy, and provide a treatment plan, in one day, in one place, for most women with suspicious...

Radiomics Model Betters Radiologists in Lesions Categorisation
2019 29 Oct
A mammography-based radiomics model, developed by Chinese scientists with the use of machine learning, can distinguish malignant from benign calcifications – with better accuracy than trained radiologists. The radiomic nomogram has the potential to be used as a diagnostic tool in clinical practice, helping to individualise care at reduced costs,... Read more
#EUSOBI2019: Stand-Alone Tomosynthesis Breast Cancer Screening Wins EUSOBI Award
2019 04 Oct
A paper on tomosynthesis screening research won the EUSOBI Award for the most quoted breast imaging paper published in European Radiology (ER) in 2016. Study leader Kristina Lång from Lund University in Malmö, Sweden accepted the award and described research on the paper 'Performance of one-view breast tomosynthesis as a stand-alone... Read more
Screening Mammography for Men at Risk
2019 24 Sep
A recent study in Radiology showed that selective mammography can help identify breast cancer for men with a high-risk. The rarity of breast cancer in men has led to little research on the outcomes in this cohort despite the high rates of mortality. Out of the 2670 cases of invasive breast cancer estimated to be diagnosed in 2019, the American Cancer... Read more

Surveillance MRI in breast cancer survivors
2019 11 Jun
The addition of breast MRI to mammography in screening breast cancer survivors for new cancers results in higher cancer detection rates, but also more biopsies that are benign, according to a large study published in Radiology. Annual screening with surveillance mammography is recommended for the millions of breast cancer survivors in the United... Read more
Machine learning cuts mammogram volume radiologists need to read
2019 05 Jun
Over 40 million mammography exams are conducted in the United States every year, with the volume of images growing exponentially. Radiologists workloads further increase with the implementation of innovative screening technologies like digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) that require more reading and testing time, increasing the pressure to deliver...
