Automated breast ultrasound detects significantly more invasive cancers in dense breasts
While mammography remains the gold standard for detecting breast cancer, research has shown it is not equally effective in all women. In the 40percent of with dense breast tissue, mammography can miss up to one third of breast cancers. This may lead to a delay in diagnosis and a worse prognosis for women with dense […]
Reviews of new Hologic Affirm prone biopsy system are very positive
Breast tomosynthesis exams, Hologic calls the exams 3D MAMMOGRAPHYTM, have shown to be an advance over digital mammography, with higher cancer detection rates and fewer patient recalls for additional testing. The new Affirm prone system, which was installed for the first time in Europe earlier last year, is widely considered one of the most significant […]
3D medical printing – the promise of personalization
Three-dimensional (3D) printing for medical applications has grown in recent years at a feverish pace. The technology has long made a significant impact in manufacturing and is also revolutionizing healthcare. For some of its proponents, this would be rather like the Gutenberg printing press did with publishing. Indeed, the respected Gartner Group estimates that 30percent […]
Emergency radiology – has CT growth peaked ?
Since the late 1990s, emergency radiology has become one of the fastest developing areas of medicine. It is now commonplace not only in Europe, the US and Japan but also in major urban centres of several developing countries. The appropriate use of emergency radiology expedites patient care, prevents unnecessary hospital admissions and emergency surgery and […]
Artificial intelligence and radiology – threat or tool ?
In spite of alarm bells that artificial intelligence (AI) would decimate the radiology profession, a host of barriers – both technical and regulatory – make this unlikely to happen for the foreseeable future. Instead, over the coming decade, AI is at best likely to help radiologists do their jobs more quickly and lead to improved […]
Who needs a mammogram?
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer globally, with one woman in eight in the West eventually developing the disease. However improved screening programmes allowing earlier detection and treatment have greatly contributed to the steadily decreasing breast cancer mortality observed from the 1980s on. Although alternative imaging modalities are available, the current gold standard […]
