Norwegians seek to add clarity to breast screening dispute

By Rebekah Moan

An invitation to participate in breast cancer screening reduces cancer death risk by 28%, according to a new study by researchers from Norway and published in BMJ. Mammography screening experts have called the study "thorough," "accurate," and "refreshingly free" of hysteria; an accompanying editorial, however, is not, they said.

Synthesized 2D images dramatically reduce DBT radiation dose

By Kate Madden Yee

Breast imagers reading 2D images synthetically reconstructed from digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) data had comparable performance to those reading conventional 2D mammography and DBT scans for breast cancer screening, while exposing women to less radiation dose, according to Norwegian researchers.

SNMMI: SPECT/CT shines at sentinel lymph-node imaging

By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers

Presurgical SPECT/CT provides more effective sentinel node imaging than lymphoscintigraphy, according to results from an international multicenter trial presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting.

Mammography breast density measurements need modifying

By Rebekah Moan

Standard breast density measurement thresholds derived from film-screen mammography don't port over well to full-field digital mammography (FFDM). Using breast density assessment software, however, Canadian researchers have found that lower percentage cut points for FFDM yielded comparable prognostic power.

FDG-PET/MRI fusion differentiates breast masses

By Erik L. Ridley

While breast MRI is highly sensitive for breast cancer, its specificity can be a little lackluster. Fusing FDG-PET and breast MRI can help, however, Brazilian researchers reported in an article published online on 27 May in the European Journal of Radiology.

DRK: Study shows MRI supports detection of endometriomas

By Michael Reiter

HAMBURG - MRI can be used to detect endometriomas, difficult-to-detect cells from the lining of the uterus found outside the uterine cavity, and also guide surgical intervention, according to a presentation from the 95th congress of the German Society of Radiology (DRK).

Mammography's roots and its long-running controversy

By Otha Linton

Today's debate over the value of breast screening is nothing new. Controversy has dogged mammography almost since the technique was invented. Otha Linton looks back at the early days of mammography in the U.S., including the influence of French radiologist Dr. Jean Pierre Bataini.

Breast MRI reliably excludes malignancy

By Rebekah Moan

Breast MRI can reliably exclude malignancy when it's applied as a problem-solving tool, and breast imaging guidelines should be adjusted accordingly, say researchers from the Medical University of Vienna.

Estimating dose for advanced mammography

By Jude Dineley

New conversion factors enable calculation of mean glandular dose resulting from contrast-enhanced digital mammography, and have been adopted for use in Europe and by the International Atomic Energy Agency, following pioneering work by researchers in the U.K.
