What's the optimum approach for B3 breast lesions?
By Philip Ward
Certain B3 lesion types should be screened more often, researchers from a top London hospital have asserted at the U.K. Imaging and Oncology Congress (UKIO).

AI may provide early breast cancer alerts from mammograms
By Amerigo Allegretto
Commercial AI systems could provide early alerts for breast cancer by picking out early signs of the disease on mammograms.

Screening mammograms and AI score changes are depicted over time in two individuals with screen-detected cancer. Full-field digital mammograms show craniocaudal (top) and mediolateral (bottom) views of the left and right breast. The description below each mammogram indicates whether AI scores from three AI-based computer-aided detection systems (AI-1, AI-2, and AI-3) were above or below the 90th percentile. (A) Mammograms from three screening time points (in 2009, 2011, and 2014) in an individual who was diagnosed in February 2014 (at age 73 years) with a left-sided 25-mm grade 2 invasive breast carcinoma, no special type (arrow). Mammographic breast density was classified as BI-RADS B on all three mammograms. (B) Mammograms from four screening time points (in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015) in an individual who was diagnosed in October 2015 (at age 65 years) with a left-sided 45-mm grade 2 lobular carcinoma (arrow). Mammographic breast density was classified as BI-RADS C on all four mammograms. Screen-detected cancers were defined as those diagnosed within 90 days for individuals who were recalled at screening (*).
AI can mislead radiologists -- and make the error more persuasive
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A study from Milan puts hard numbers on how often radiologists follow a wrong AI recommendation and whether explainable AI can help.

Is isolated breast pain an indication for imaging?
By Frances Rylands-Monk

AI model predicts cardiovascular risk from BACs on mammograms
By Amerigo Allegretto
An AI model showed success in using age-adjusted breast arterial calcifications from mammograms to predict cardiovascular events.

Example of Percentile Nomogram With Age-Adjusted BAC Quartiles. (A) Mammogram of a 56-year-old woman. There is evident BAC (pink arrow). This was quantified as a BAC score of 30 using the cmAngio tool. (B) Nomogram indicating that a BAC score of 30 places a 56-year-old woman within the 50th to 75th percentile for her age.
