The researchers also refute claims from other studies that question whether pilot screening programs reduced breast cancer mortality and only led to overdiagnosis.January 10, 2018Breast ImagingDBT, synthetic 2D mammography beat standard screeningSingle-reading digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) plus synthesized 2D mammography increased cancer detection and decreased recalls compared with double-reading standard mammography in a new study, published online by European Radiology on 2 January. In addition, standard mammography did not improve results when added to DBT.January 9, 2018Clinical NewsFalse-positive mammogram triples risk of interval cancerA prior false-positive finding on mammography triples the likelihood that a woman will have an interval breast cancer, according to a study from Norway published on 14 December in Radiology. The findings indicate that more frequent screening could be advisable for women with false-positive findings.December 19, 2017Organized Radiology IssuesMenu unveils 2018 wish list for European RadiologyWith Dr. Yves Menu at the helm of European Radiology, you can expect speedier decisions on article submissions. Since he teamed up with Dr. Maximilian Reiser, the outgoing editor in chief, to ease the handover of the role, the time between submission and first decision already has sunk to 25 days.December 14, 2017Clinical NewsLancet: Europe must get set for lung cancer screeningExperts from around Europe are urging the European Union (EU) to implement lung cancer screening using low-dose CT within the next 18 months. The EU position statement, published in the December issue of Lancet Oncology, recommends a risk stratification approach, among other guidelines.December 10, 2017Clinical NewsCritics of breast screening focus attention on the NetherlandsBreast cancer screening opponents released a new study in BMJ on 5 December calling into question the benefits of mammography in the Netherlands. They concluded that screening had little impact on advanced breast cancers, suggesting a marginal effect on breast cancer mortality. Breast screening advocates beg to differ.December 5, 2017Clinical NewsStudy: More breast screens equal higher cancer riskA multinational team has shown that the earlier and more frequently a woman starts screening for breast cancer, the higher her lifetime risk of radiation-induced cancer. But the total effective risk falls as women get older, particularly when they hit 70 years old, according to a study published in the European Journal of Radiology.November 22, 2017Clinical NewsABVS rivals MRI in predicting small breast lesionsAutomated breast volume scanning (ABVS) performs better than ultrasound and MRI in predicting breast cancer size for lesions smaller than 2 cm, and it is comparable for lesions of all other sizes, according to Italian researchers.November 16, 2017Previous PagePage 8 of 45Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingDutch study proposes method for developing pediatric DRLsPediatric diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) can be more effectively established for fluoroscopic procedures using a dose-age curve method, say researchers.Artificial IntelligenceMajor shake-up looms for AI platform sectorCTFrench expert shows how to reduce contrast media wasteMRIWhat’s new at JFR 2025, Mr. President?Sponsor ContentJoin Us!
