VIDEO: Impact of COVID on breast imaging

Connie Lehman, MD, PhD, chief of breast imaging, co-director of the Avon Comprehensive Breast Evaluation Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital, discusses the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic on breast screenings, increased cancer rates and issues with the vaccines causing false positives on mammograms.

Contrast-enhanced mammography uses iodine contrast injected into a patient and mammography system to image contrast uptake or areas of increased vascular activity, which is typical of cancers. This can help image through dense breast tissue to find cancers that are otherwise masked by dense breast tissue.

Connie Lehman, MD, chief of breast imaging, co-director of the Avon Comprehensive Breast Evaluation Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is being implemented in breast imaging.

Example of a cancer that is difficult to see in dense breast tissue, but can be seen easier using 3D mammography digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) breast imaging because the radiologist can go through the breast layer by layer if tissue..

CCTA is being utilized more and more for the diagnosis and management of suspected coronary artery disease. An international group of specialists shared their perspective on this ongoing trend.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
