FFDM fails to lower missed-cancer percentage, study shows
By Kate Madden Yee, Erik L. Ridley
Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) does not improve upon the performance of film-screen mammography, at least in terms of the percentage of missed interval and screening-detected cancers, Norwegian researchers reported in a study published online June 14 in Radiology.

Researchers find novel way to image women with breast implants
By Rebekah Moan
Imaging women with silicone breast implants with diffusion-weighted MR imaging is a challenge, but a possible solution is to combine short-tau inversion recovery and slice-select gradient reversal to eliminate or reduce silicone signal, according to a study published online in European Radiology on 16 June.

Diffusion-weighted MRI provides boost for breast lesion detection
By Wayne Forrest
Diffusion-weighted MRI and apparent diffusion coefficient measurements help increase the specificity of breast MRI to more than 90% and provide faster imaging times in a noninvasive, nonionizing radiation way, concludes a new meta-analysis from France.

Communication proves vital to success in screening mammography
By Rebekah Moan
Researchers from Italy and Spain have found that communication affects whether women will return for their annual mammogram, and, similarly, a false-positive result deters them from coming back. The findings were published in this month's issue of the European Journal of Public Health.

Fibroglandular tissue hampers mammo CAD specificity
By Erik L. Ridley
While breast density and volume does not affect false-positive rates for computer-aided detection (CAD) software, CAD specificity is affected by breast fibroglandular tissue volume, according to research published online in the European Journal of Radiology.

Delayed diagnoses cause complaints in breast litigation cases
By Kate Madden Yee
Delay in diagnosis is the most common complaint in breast imaging malpractice litigation, say London researchers in the July issue of Clinical Radiology. Breast microcalcification is the most often missed mammographic sign, according to the group.

Digital breast tomo boosts accuracy for soft-tissue abnormalities
By Rebekah Moan
Adding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to mammography increases the accuracy for detecting soft-tissue mammographic abnormalities, whether DBT is compared with film-screen mammography alone or film-screen mammography plus full-field digital mammography, U.K. researchers have reported.
