Curve-shaped breast compression paddles may lead to some pain relief, but they also reduce image quality on mammograms, suggest findings published August 20 in Radiology. Two radiographers and two radiologists performed unblinded paired comparisons of images from both paddle types, using standard image quality criteria.

Healthcare disparities continue to plague medical imaging, but there are concrete measures radiologists can take to mitigate them, according to a paper published on October 12 in RadioGraphics. B) A craniocaudal magnified mammogram more clearly shows the irregular mass and pleomorphic calcifications in the medial breast. (C)

You introduce yourself as you are walking to the mammo room when the they say, "I heard that the girl who did my mammogram before ( and I think it was you!) , messed up my pictures, so I had to come back." this is actually quite a normal response, even for those of us who are radiographers/mammographers. She is not happy. By the way.

Women with dense breasts are BOTH more likely to develop breast cancer and more likely to have that cancer missed on a mammogram [5] Fig. 1 – Cancer on a mammogram of a fatty vs a dense breast What is Dense Breast Tissue? Breast density is determined through a mammogram and described as one of four categories (Fig.

Have you ever jumped out of bed, excited for your mammogram appointment? Below is a description of each type of exam: Digital Mammography Mammography is the practice of radiographic imaging of the soft tissue of the breast. A mammogram is a low dose x-ray of the breast. Probably not!

milla1cf Tue, 09/05/2023 - 09:00 September 5, 2023 — Using a standardized assessment, researchers in the UK compared the performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with human readers of screening mammograms. For each test mammogram, the reader’s score is compared to the ground truth of the AI results.
