Rebekah Moan[email protected]Clinical NewsIrish study: How low can breast MR recalls go?Research conducted in Dublin finds the breast MRI recall rate is 10.8%, which compares well with other published data but is above U.K. national breast screening guidelines' minimum standard of less than 10% and an expected standard of less than 7%. Is that achievable? Maybe.April 20, 2015Clinical NewsMRI pinpoints malignancy in extramammary diseaseAssessing the entire field-of-view carefully for abnormalities on breast MRI studies is vital, because some incidental extramammary findings are malignant, and this alters diagnostic workup, staging, and treatment, Croatian researchers have found.April 9, 2015Womens ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Women's Imaging InsiderMarch 23, 2015Clinical NewsABUS adds no value for BRCA carriers, Dutch sayDespite intensive annual surveillance, BRCA carriers still present with interval cancers. Dutch researchers found automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) detected no additional cancers, so it's back to the drawing board.March 23, 2015ConferenceTop 5 trends from ECR 2015 in ViennaAs the dust begins to settle on ECR 2015, now is a great time to reflect on the meeting and identify its major trends. Central themes at the congress included the unification of European radiology, teleradiology and outsourcing, radiation dose monitoring, digital breast tomosynthesis, and hybrid imaging.March 17, 2015ConferenceDouble-read DBT + digital mammo drops recall ratesVIENNA - Double reading of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) plus digital mammography reduces the recall rate by 40% when compared with digital mammography alone, Italian researchers reported at ECR 2015.March 6, 2015ConferenceScreening sweet spot key for personalized medicineVIENNA - "Personalized medicine" is quickly becoming overused, with many institutions even starting to rebrand themselves using the phrase. It's often associated with genomics, but that's a mistake; instead, radiologists should focus on hitting a screening sweet spot, according to a presentation at ECR 2015.March 5, 2015ConferenceCAD boosts breast MRI sensitivityVIENNA - Breast MRI already has high sensitivity, but can it be even higher? The answer is yes, if computer-aided detection (CAD) is thrown into the mix, according to a presentation at ECR 2015. In fact, the CAD system detected previously missed cancers nearly as well as it did screen-detected cancers.March 5, 2015ConferenceCT, MRI contribute to major shake-up in breast imagingRapid progress in both CT and MRI are being made in the field of breast imaging. Speakers at today's special focus session at ECR 2015 will provide an overview of what's possible with breast CT and unenhanced breast MRI.March 4, 2015ConferenceBreast screening controversies set to generate fierce debateToday's session on breast cancer screening has the potential to be the most controversial at ECR 2015, because it includes the perspectives of not only screening advocates but also dissenters. Specifically, researchers will debate hot topics such as the Canadian National Breast Screening Study, followed by a period of questions and answers.March 4, 2015Previous PagePage 22 of 45Next PageTop StoriesCTDL algorithm estimates lung nodule cancer risk, reduces false positivesThe deep-learning (DL) tool reduced false-positive results by almost 40% and showed high cancer detection rates.Molecular ImagingNeuroinflammation persists for 2 years in long COVIDMRIChatGPT gathers momentum in MR imagingCTLow-dose CT ties emphysema to mortality in previous smokersMRIKeep calm: Booklets aim to conquer children's anxiety
