Italians find mammography can show cardiovascular disease
Italian researchers have found that mammography can be a useful way to test for cardiovascular disease at the same time as screening for breast cancer because it identifies breast arterial calcifications, which have been linked to cardiovascular disease risk. They published their results online on 11 August in the European Journal of Radiology.

Support grows for mpMRI before prostate biopsy
A U.K. study has shown that the use of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) in suspected cases of prostate cancer can cut unnecessary biopsies by more than a third and boost the detection of clinically significant disease by more than 50%. The findings were published online on 7 August in JAMA Network Open.

Use DWI to streamline breast MRI protocols
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can be used to streamline breast MRI protocols, according to a joint German-Austrian study published online on 29 July in European Radiology. The results could lead to shorter breast MRI exams, say the authors.

Breast MRI can identify positive tumor margins
Researchers have shown that preoperative breast MRI features such as multifocal disease and a nonmass enhancement lesion can help predict positive or close margins at breast-conserving surgery. They published their findings in the August issue of the European Journal of Radiology.

Dutch shed light on pros and cons of breast MRI
Dutch researchers have found that MRI detects breast cancer earlier than digital mammography in women with a family history of the disease but without known genetic mutations. The improved detection comes at a risk of more false positives, however.

Study: Radiology know-how vital to cancer care
Research published online on 5 June in BJR supports the idea that radiologists' expertise remains crucial when it comes to cancer detection. Radiologists can "get the gist" of breast cancer in mammograms up to three years before clinical signs of it are visible, the authors found.
