Self-compression boosts women's mammography compliance
By Kate Madden Yee
Allowing women some measure of control over breast compression at mammography doesn't reduce image quality or increase radiation dose -- and it may, in fact, encourage them to return for needed breast imaging, according to a French study published online on 14 September in the European Journal of Cancer.

DBT: Longer reading time, lower breast cancer recall rate
By Rebekah Moan
Interim analysis of a randomized controlled trial on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) showed the modality took longer to read than digital mammography but had significantly lower recall rates. The Norwegian researchers also found no differences in radiation dose between the two techniques, thanks to the use of synthesized DBT images.

Study rejects mammography's role in reducing mortality
By Rebekah Moan
The findings of a new Danish-Norwegian study are reviving the claim that the recent drop in breast cancer mortality is not due to mammography screening but rather the result of improved treatment. The authors assert it's time to consider alternatives to mammography screening -- such as breast palpation by physicians.

Can Tetris inspire AI for MRI breast cancer detection?
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
Borrowing concepts used in the classic computer game Tetris, Australian researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that they say can detect tumors on breast MRI exams nearly twice as fast as existing breast cancer detection methods without affecting accuracy.

DBT + mammo improves cancer detection, increases recalls
By Rebekah Moan
In a substudy of a large digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) trial, Italian researchers found screen reading using DBT with either acquired or synthesized 2D mammography generally improved breast cancer detection compared with 2D mammography alone but also increased false-positive recalls.
