Breast cancer care in Afghanistan presents challenges
Offering breast cancer care in a war zone requires a particular creativity, especially when resources -- including basic imaging -- are limited. In a research letter published online October 2 in the Breast Journal, surgeons at a military hospital near Kabul, Afghanistan, described their experience providing Afghan women with breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

DBT finds more cancers, but also boosts false positives
Combining 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with 2D mammography images -- both actual and synthetic -- finds more cases of breast cancer than mammography alone, especially in younger women and those with dense breasts. But it also increases recall rates, according to a study published online in Lancet.

What's the sweet spot for batch reading mammograms?
What's the right number of cases to interpret when batch reading mammography studies? Too few can affect productivity, while too many can risk burning out your radiologists. Fortunately, researchers provide some guidance in a new study published in the May 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

DBT plus FFDM boosts invasive cancer detection rates
A new literature review published in The Breast has confirmed that adding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to breast screening with full-field digital mammography (FFDM) boosts invasive cancer detection rates, and it may reduce recall and false-positive rates as well.

Ultrasound tops tomo in dense breasts -- or not?
Ultrasound has an edge in sensitivity over digital breast tomosynthesis as an accompaniment to standard 2D mammography in women with dense breast tissue. But better sensitivity may not be enough to make ultrasound the gold standard for these women, according to a study presented at the European Breast Cancer Conference.

False positives translate to higher breast cancer risk
Women who have false-positive results on mammography are at almost twice the risk of breast cancer than women with negative mammography exams, according to a new study published online in Radiology. And it gets worse: Women who have had more than two false-positive exams have nine times the risk of breast cancer compared to those with negative exams.

MR-guided HIFU: A good alternative to lumpectomy
MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is safe for breast tumor ablation, offering an even less invasive alternative to lumpectomy -- as well as other forms of ablation -- for women with early-stage invasive breast cancer, according to a new study.

New software assesses radiographers who read images
A new software tool offers the ability to assess and monitor the interpretation skills of radiographers. Called RadBench, the package measures image interpretation performance metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The software was developed at Sheffield Hallam University in Sheffield, U.K., and researchers from the institution discussed their experience in a new study published in Radiography.
