Cracking the code of breast calcifications – with geology?

Dense calcifications are common in breast tissue, but not every finding in a mammogram is a precursor of cancer. New insights could lead to fewer benign biopsies and guide therapeutic development.

Mammography, ultrasound, MRI: which imaging modality at which time?

Interdisciplinary collaboration between gynaecologists, radiologists, pathologists and breast care nurses following a palpation finding makes a decisive contribution to the success of further breast cancer treatment. This was the consensus among the speakers at the Annual Congress of the German Society of Senology in Dresden. The experts provided clear explanations of which imaging is best for…

Transforming breast screening: The role of AI in improving reading workflow

While having more centers adopt digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for breast cancer screenings into their practice is a positive change, it also presents some challenges for radiologists—particularly the increased number of images for radiologists to review. This challenge has paved the way for AI to offer innovative workflow solutions for radiologists that do not sacrifice accuracy.
