Over-the-counter anesthetic reduces breast imaging pain

In a study of over 463,000 women who had screening mammography exams, adjunctive AI led to a 17.6 percent higher detection rate for breast cancer and a three percent increase in positive predictive value for recalls.

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.

Originally cleared by the FDA in 2021, the SmartMammo Dx software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can now be utilized with the Senographe Pristina mammography systems from GE HealthCare.

In the second episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recent studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that suggested moving to more of a risk-adapted model for mammography screening.

As recommendations have become a commonplace expectation on radiology reports, is there a point where we are crossing the line?

Employing advanced deep learning convolutional neural networks, ProFound Detection Version 4.0 reportedly offers a 50 percent improvement in detecting cancer in dense breasts in comparison to the previous version of the software.
