DeepHealth completes iCAD acquisition for breast cancer AI tools
RadNet's DeepHealth unit has completed its acquisition of iCAD, adding established AI breast cancer detection capabilities to its diagnostic platform.
Breast cancer (breast carcinoma; often abbreviated as BRCA) is the most common cancer in women in many countries and the cancer with the highest mortality rate. The diagnostic and therapeutic options for breast cancer are correspondingly diverse. Read more about the latest research, diagnoses and treatments.
RadNet's DeepHealth unit has completed its acquisition of iCAD, adding established AI breast cancer detection capabilities to its diagnostic platform.
By directing radiologists' attention to potentially suspicious areas, AI can help spot more lesions indicative of breast cancer in mammograms. This is suggested by a new study.
Newly developed technology can detect breast cancer relapses up to five years in advance. This advance could represent a turning point in post-treatment follow-up, the researchers hope.
In a new study, researchers have developed a new fluorescent probe to visualise signaling dynamics in moving cancer cells, to uncover a new therapeutic possibility for limiting breast cancer spread.
Many women are only diagnosed with breast cancer after they present to a doctor with symptoms. A new study points out that early detection through screening leads to improved outcomes.
When it comes to breast cancer, ethnic differences matter, putting some women at a significantly higher risk, a new study finds. Genetic ancestry should therefore be considered as a risk factor.
Diagnosing breast cancer in women with extremely dense breasts often comes down to MRI, but the scans take long and are expensive. Research confirms that shorter protocols also yield accurate results.
Does having blood type A increase the risk of breast cancer? A new systematic review and meta-analysis involving more than 13,000 breast cancer patients suggests a connection.
Using radiomics on mammograms of over 30,000 women, researchers have identified six breast texture patterns that may be associated with increased cancer risk.
A novel deep-learning approach automatically finds and classifies microcalcifications found in mammography images—bringing both accuracy and consistency to breast-cancer screening.
At the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), three experts presented new approaches and study results for the treatment of breast cancer in young women.
Breast MRI has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool, particularly for women with dense breast tissue where traditional mammography faces limitations. In her presentation at ECR 2025, radiographer Hanna Kalliomäki highlighted several technological advances transforming breast cancer detection and diagnosis. From time-saving abbreviated protocols and AI-assisted analysis to contrast-free…
Despite their improving diagnostic accuracy, medical AI systems are often met with skepticism by radiologists. Their patients, however, seem more inclined to embrace this technology, a study shows.
Soccer is not only a fun and popular sport, but can also help prevent many lifestyle-related conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, obesity, several cancers, and mental health challenges.
Surgery may not be the best next course of treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer who had a complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and standard radiotherapy, new research finds.
3 out of 10: Mammography screening has been shown to be effective in reducing breast cancer mortality. Still, many cancers are diagnosed between screening rounds, a new study shows.
The location and timing of breast cancer recurrence may allow AI to predict the risk of metastasis, a new study shows. This is an essential step towards developing personalised treatment strategies.
New findings show how AI-assisted mammography may not only reveal breast cancer, but can also assess calcium buildup in the arteries within breast tissue—an indicator of cardiovascular health.
Cryoablation, the destruction of malignant cancer cells by freezing them, is increasingly becoming an alternative to having conventional lumpectomy for patients diagnosed with early-stage, localised, low-risk breast cancer. Findings from numerous recent clinical trials show that cancer recurrence rates are very low and are comparable to breast conservation surgery (BCS).
