Educational Activity for JBI, Vol. 4, Issue 5
SBI
The educational activity for Journal of Breast Imaging Volume 4, Issue 5, 2022 is now available! After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to identify that the appearance of high-density foci in the axilla can be seen in a wide spectrum of benign and malignant diseases and recognize that the location in the skin, soft tissues, lymph nodes, or muscle affects the differential diagnosis.
Read the latest JBI educational activity, “Calcified Axillary Lesions on Mammography – Review and Managements.”

How breast cancer screening could increase lung cancer screening compliance in eligible women
Health Imaging
Mulling the substantial population of women who are eligible for lung cancer screening (LCS) but forgo the exam, experts recently questioned whether a strategy that combines LCS with breast cancer screening practices could increase compliance.
The updated expansion of eligibility (regarding age and smoking history) for low dose CT lung cancer screening means that many women who routinely undergo annual breast cancer screening are also eligible to be screened for lung cancer.

Is screening breast MRI needed for women with high-risk lesions?
AuntMinnie.com
A new study suggests that breast MRI may not be useful in screening women with certain types of high-risk breast lesions. The authors recommend using mammography instead, in a September 28 study in Annals of Surgical Oncology.
Previous research has shown that breast MRI has screening benefits over mammography among women at high risk of cancer. But a team led by Dr. Alison Laws of Brigham and Women's is suggesting that mammography alone appears to be a viable way to screen women with so-called high-risk lesions like atypical ductal/lobular hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ.

A case report on mandibular metastasis from a breast carcinoma
Cureus
Despite the rise in the number of cases of breast cancer in recent years, clinical diagnosis of a primary tumor in cases presenting with metastasis to the oral cavity poses a challenge in modern medicine because of its rare presentation.
We report a case of breast cancer which presented as a painless swelling in the jaw.

Benefit of risk-based breast cancer screening is still unclear
Medical Xpress
The Austrian Institute for Health Technology Assessment (AIHTA) has analyzed whether risk-based breast cancer screening has advantages over the conventional age-based screening program. The central result: the current prediction models cannot satisfactorily predict the individual breast cancer risk.

Experts share positive news for women who have undergone multiple GBCA exposures during breast MRI
Health Imaging
New research shared on Sept. 30 is positive news for women who have been subject to multiple exposures to gadolinium-based contrast agents during breast MRI exams.
Multiple GBCA exposures are known to result in gadolinium deposits in the brain of certain patients, most often in those with neurologic or neuropsychologic disorders, according to most research currently available.
