Education and Advocacy: Turning Breast Cancer Awareness Into Action 🔗 https://bit.ly/4e0S4HO “Early detection of breast cancer through annual mammograms is critical to saving lives, but more than 40% of US women report skipping screenings,” says Erik Anderson, division president of breast and skeletal health solutions for Hologic. “We want women to fully understand the importance of getting screened and remove any barriers and misconceptions around breast cancer and mammograms so they can prioritize their health.”

As Workloads Increase, Radiologists Participate in Less Resident Training 🔗 https://bit.ly/3BVUcDh “Although our data does not include information about training effectiveness, the observed dispersion of training across a broader pool of radiologists, many of whom are doing very little training overall, indicates a need to evaluate change in quality and consistency,” said YoonKyung Chung, PhD, Principal Policy Researcher at the Neiman Institute. “While a subset (top 20%) of teaching radiologists is still doing a majority of their work with residents, this group has also demonstrated the largest drop in teaching workload, which is changing the training landscape.”

Studies Find Lunit AI Predicts Breast Cancer Risk up to Six Years in Advance, Reduces Radiologist Workload 🔗 https://bit.ly/40mN8JZ "These studies provide compelling evidence of our AI's potential to transform breast cancer screening," said Brandon Suh, CEO of Lunit. "In Norway, our AI identified future breast cancer risk up to 6 years ahead, providing women and healthcare providers valuable time for proactive interventions. The Danish study showed a 50% reduction in radiologist workload without sacrificing detection quality—a result that directly impacts radiology efficiency worldwide. These are not hypothetical improvements; they represent concrete benefits that healthcare providers and patients are experiencing today. Our focus is on ensuring these advancements translate directly to better outcomes for women undergoing breast cancer screening."

Higher Cerebrovascular Impedance Found in Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment 🔗 https://bit.ly/4fiPKwT “This study highlights the importance of brain vascular function in brain health in older adults,” said Rong Zhang, PhD, a professor of neurology and senior author of the study.

🩻 Case Study of the Week! Post your guess in the comments and check back on Friday to see if your diagnosis was correct See all the case details, more images, and diagnosis ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Yq233v Chest radiograph ( Figure 1 ) and chest CT ( Figure 2 ) showed both cystic and solid lesions. The cystic lesions had a variable appearance: Some had a thick, irregular wall while others had a thin, nearly imperceptible wall. A small nodule was visible in the posterolateral trachea on CT.

📢 Tomorrow is the day! 🔗 https://bit.ly/3Y4n98D ⏰ 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time 🗓️ Tuesday, October 29, 2024 🎓 1 CME Credit / 1 CE Credits / 1 CRA Credits While gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are essential to performing breast MR imaging, guidance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) includes the recommendation of limiting a patient's gadolinium exposure. Gadopiclenol injection, a macrocyclic, high-relaxivity GBCA can address this recommendation by providing high-quality images with half the gadolinium dose as compared to other conventional GBCAs.
