Researchers found that cancer risk in premenopausal women with fatty breasts at initial imaging nearly doubled if an increase in density was observed during their second and third mammograms.

This image gallery shows examples from various breast imaging modalities, including digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound and breast MRI, in addition to clinical presentations of breast cancer and other pathologies.

Radiographers trained to recognize certain findings on screening mammograms could help address the worldwide shortage of radiologists. 

A new artificial intelligence system can detect active tuberculosis on chest radiographs with accuracy comparable to radiologists, a recent paper in Radiology reports. 

While the incidence of lung cancer did not significantly differ from start to finish, stage-specific incidence did.

Experts compared the cortical thickness of three bones—the radius, tibia and second metatarsal—of 200 volunteers who had undergone prior bone mineral density measurements to evaluate the ultrasound method’s accuracy.

Nearly 20% of the women included in the study did not complete their follow-up imaging at all, and out of the 3,648 women who did adhere to additional imaging, 23.3% delayed their exams beyond the recommended 60-day period.

Many women who receive their mammogram results on the same day as their exam report feeling better about their overall experience.
