FDA plans new regulations on mammograms in effort to help women with dense breasts
CBS News
Mammograms can sometimes fail to detect tumors in women who have a higher breast density. As a result, the FDA said it's planning new regulations for informing women about their tissue type and screening options. Dr. Sarah Friedewald, the chief of breast imaging at Northwestern Medicine, explains that denser breasts have less fat and more tissue. It can be more difficult to spot tumors in dense tissue in mammograms, since both show up as white in the images.

How to foster growth for your radiology practice
Aunt Minnie
Home teleradiology and "bunker shifts" can help radiology practices to increase efficiency, reduce burnout and, in turn, foster growth. Radiologists across the country are contending with burnout, staffing shortages and reimbursement cuts. Amid those challenges, some practices want to grow to stay innovative. Others are growing as a reaction to higher workloads.

Prioritizing immediate reads on these 2 groups of women reduces recall rates for mammo
Health Imaging
Strategies that prioritize reads for women undergoing baseline mammograms could not only expedite diagnosis and substantially reduce recall rates, but they could also close problematic gaps in follow-up care. In this respect, authors of a new paper published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology highlighted two groups of women who could benefit the most from immediate interpretations: women presenting for baseline screening and women who have not had a screening in five or more years

Is it time to move away from using 'women's imaging?'
Aunt Minnie
Women's imaging is an umbrella term covering different aspects of medical imaging focused on women. However, it may be time to stop using this term, according to an editorial published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Quality control in radiology: Knowing your (un)limit
Diagnostic Imaging
Eric Postal, M.D., writes: "We're limited." I heard that utterance more than a few times during my fellowship, nearly two decades ago. It was often spoken by one of the attendings, when she'd open an imaging study and see it marred by motion artifact, bad contrast-phase, wrong positioning, etc.

Breast cancer detection: How it is found and the importance of early detection
Cancer Therapy Advisor
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in women, with the American Cancer Society estimating there to be approximately 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women in the U.S. Although the ACS reports that breast cancer death rates have decreased since 1989, they still estimate around 43,250 women will die of breast cancer in the U.S. in 2022.

RBMA consumer survey finds screening mammography low, Medicare concerns high
Radiology Business
Almost half of U.S. women covered by or eligible for Medicare have not been screened for breast cancer for at least three years, according to a study just out from the Radiology Business Management Association. Presenting its findings in an announcement sent to the press Oct. 20, RBMA places the pervasive mammography underutilization in the context of looming cuts in Medicare reimbursement to providers.
