By Rebekah Moan
The use of routine follow-up ultrasound for early detection of nonpalpable locoregional recurrent cancer is advocated by South Korean researchers, writing in the 6 November issue of the European Journal of Radiology. Although locoregional recurrence occurs infrequently after mastectomy, ultrasound detects nonpalpable cancer before a clinical exam.

Using CAD 'on demand' may be more effective than prompts
By Kate Madden Yee
Radiologists' ability to detect malignant breast masses is more accurate when computer-aided detection (CAD) marks are hidden until they are needed, rather than displayed while the radiologist reads a study, according to new research from the Netherlands published online in Radiology.

By Rebekah Moan
Breast tomosynthesis continues to gain in popularity, but uncertainty surrounds the most efficient way to read the images. In an article published on 20 October by European Radiology, Swedish researchers conclude these images are best viewed horizontally using any viewing procedure except for slow frame.

Sharper image: 3D phase-contrast tomo shows smaller breast tumors
By Eric Barnes
Researchers from Germany, France, and the University of California, Los Angeles have collaborated to produce ultrasharp 3D breast images with a technique that delivers less radiation than a mammogram, according to an article published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Don't forget CT for imaging breast implants, Germans say
By Rebekah Moan
When it comes to imaging breast implants for rupture, MRI and ultrasound are recognized widely as the modalities of choice, but a new study in European Radiology by German researchers could change all that because it suggests CT may be a viable alternative.

Bilateral breast ultrasound of limited use in recalled patients
By Rebekah Moan
Bilateral breast ultrasound offers little or only marginal benefit in routine breast cancer screening for recalled patients, German researchers have found. In their study published in European Radiology, ultrasound detected unexpected breast cancer in dense breasts, but ultrasound-only cancer detection had a low positive predictive value.

Swiss give new advice on MRI technique for female pelvis
By Rebekah Moan
The less-motion-sensitive T2-weighted BLADE technique should not replace conventional turbo spin echo when imaging a woman's pelvis because, despite its appeal, overall contrast suffers, according to Swiss researchers.
