Prototype Breast Cancer Imaging System May Improve Patient Care
A prototype breast imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies could greatly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting. view more (2009-06-16)
New MR Technique May Help Save Women from Unnecessary Breast Biopsies
A new MR procedure that uses diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to determine whether or not a breast lesion is malignant or benign may help reduce unnecessary breast biopsies, according to a study performed at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD. DWI is a method that produces images detecting the exchange of water molecules between... view more... (2009-04-24)
Radiologists overestimate their overall risk of malpractice lawsuits in breast imaging
Radiologists who work in breast imaging tend to overestimate their actual risk of medical malpractice lawsuits, according to a study performed at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Seattle, WA. view more (2009-02-03)
New technology could revolutionize breast cancer screening
The world's first radar breast imaging system developed at Bristol University that could revolutionise the way women are scanned for breast cancer, is being trialled at North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT). view more (2008-11-12)
Angled gantry technique reduced breast radiation exposure by 50 percent
A novel angled gantry approach to coronary CT angiography reduced radiation exposure to the breast by more than 50%, according to Thomas Jefferson University researchers. view more (2008-12-04)
Mammography plus sonography can help rule out breast cancer in patients with palpable lesions
When mammography and sonography are used together to evaluate palpable breast lesions, they can rule out cancers in most patients, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Baystate Health in Springfield, MA. However, uncommonly, malignancies cannot be diagnosed using this imaging protocol. view more (2008-04-14)
Kylie's breast cancer triggered a surge of over 30 percent in breast imaging of low-risk women
Use of mammography and breast ultrasound procedures soared by over 30 percent among women aged 25-44 in the 6 months following Kylie Minogue's breast cancer diagnosis, says a new study from the University of Melbourne. view more (2008-06-05)
New breast imaging technology targets hard-to-detect cancers
Breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) is effective in the detection of cancers not found on mammograms or by clinical exam, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-03)
Ultrasound proves safe alternative to biopsy in some breast masses
Researchers have reported that breast masses shown on ultrasound that are diagnosed as "probably benign" can be safely managed with imaging follow-up rather than biopsy, according to a study appearing in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2007-06-26)
UVa Participates in Landmark Breast Cancer Screening Trial
Digital mammography that uses computers to detect breast cancer found significantly (up to 28%) more cancers than screen film mammography in women 50 and younger, premenopausal and perimenopausal women, and women with dense breasts, according to results from one of the largest breast cancer screening studies ever performed. view more (2005-09-21)
Digital Mammography Plus Digital Breast Tomosynthesis May Decrease Patient Recall Rates
Nationally, about ten percent of women in the US are recalled for a second mammogram after an abnormality is detected on the first one-for most women this can be very stressful. view more (2009-08-06)
MRI Superior to Mammography for Screening Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is significantly more sensitive than mammography and ultrasound for diagnosing familial breast cancer, according to researchers at Germany's University of Bonn. view more (2003-06-12)
Screening MRI allows detection of more breast cancers in high-risk women
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables radiologists to accurately identify tumors missed by mammography and ultrasound, according to a multicenter study comparing the three screening methods in women at high-risk for breast cancer. view more (2007-07-31)
MR spectroscopy significantly reduces need for breast biopsy
In a study featured in the June issue of Radiology, researchers found that imaging suspicious breast lesions with magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy reduced the need for biopsy by 58 percent. view more (2006-05-30)
New guidelines emphasize use of breast MRI to supplement standard imaging
Updated guidelines for physicians that represent best practices for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to newly diagnose breast cancer and to make treatment decisions for breast cancer were published today in the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. view more (2009-02-17)
Dartmouth's alternative breast imaging techniques sort abnormal from normal tissue
Dartmouth physicians and engineers have published a paper with results from a five-year project testing three new imaging techniques to examine breast abnormalities, including cancer. view more (2007-06-06)
Colorful spy tactics track live cells supporting cancerous tumors
A new advance in cellular imaging is allowing scientists to better understand the movement of cells in the area around tumors, also known as the tumor microenvironment. view more (2008-09-17)
MRI may be unnecessary prior to treatment in most newly diagnosed breast cancer patients
New research findings published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons challenge the routine use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a means to improve surgical outcomes in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. view more (2009-08-14)
Elasticity imaging identifies cancers and reduces breast biopsies
A new ultrasound technique allows radiologists to accurately distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions. Using elasticity imaging, researchers correctly identified both cancerous and harmless lesions in nearly all of the cases studied. view more (2006-11-28)
Breast asymmetry predicts breast cancer
Women who go on to develop breast cancer tend to have breasts that are less symmetrical than women who don't develop the cancer. view more (2006-03-20)
