The lack of a structured reporting system for imaging technologists could be threatening the readability of studies in the field, a team of U.K. researchers reported this month in Radiography. But some argue a more rigid format would distract from the cognitive processes that make radiology reports so valuable in the first place.

The economic environment for breast imaging is already complex and still evolving. Keeping up requires understanding the dynamics at work.

Many breast imaging facilities in the United States lack policies that focus on providing friendly, inclusive care to transgender patients, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Women who prioritize annual mammograms starting at the age of 40 have the greatest chance of catching, treating and surviving breast cancer, a study published this month in the Journal of the American College of Radiology suggests.

Seven years after the FDA approved the first tomosynthesis device for breast cancer screening, adoption rates for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) remain on an upswing. Earlier this year the agency reported a nearly 30 percent increase of certified mammography facilities offering DBT—aka “3D mammography,” aka “tomo”—over just the past year (from 3,178 facilities in March 2017 to 4,074 in March 2018).

The American College of Radiology (ACR) and Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) have published new breast cancer screening guidelines, once again recommending that all women begin annual screening at age 40.

The Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) is working with the American College of Radiology (ACR) to host its annual Breast Imaging Symposium April 12-15 in Las Vegas.

Jay A. Baker, MD, professor of radiology and chief of the breast imaging division at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, and the vice president of the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI), spoke with Radiology Business about some of the biggest topics affecting breast imaging today.
