Combining mammography with ultrasound tomography improves cancer detection

AuntMinnie

Combining full-field digital mammography with ultrasound tomography can improve breast cancer detection and be helpful in imaging dense breasts, according to research published June 18 in Radiology. Our study suggests ultrasound tomography can be another supplemental screening tool,” Yamashita and colleagues wrote.

and radiology has learned much since then, according to experts who directly dealt with the diseases impact. While services for breast and lung cancer screening were temporarily halted, imagers in x-ray, lung ultrasound, and PET/CT were busy examining patients who presented with COVID-19. Our true north is putting our patients first.

Current topics in mammography

AuntMinnie

Breast density can often obscure lesions on conventional x-ray mammography, and so other screening modalities such as MRI or ultrasound are often recommended for follow-up. CEM is faster and less costly than MRI and can often be used as a follow-up to an abnormal screening mammogram when it is clinically appropriate.

AuntMinnie 2021: COVID-19 vaccine affects imaging results, researchers warn

AuntMinnie

Researchers are warning that the COVID-19 vaccine can manifest on imaging in ways that appear to be disease, according to two studies published February 24 in the American Journal of Roentgenology and Radiology. Ultrasound from diagnostic work-up performed seven days later showed no change in lymph node size.
