Submit your manuscript to the Journal of Breast Imaging
SBI
The Journal of Breast Imaging (JBI) is the only medical journal dedicated to the field of breast imaging. It aims to provide high quality, evidence-based content for the global breast imaging medical community. This journal seeks to advance the field of breast imaging, with particular focus on improving patient care and outcomes.
JBI is currently seeking submissions for the following manuscript types: Image Spotlight and Unknown Challenge. Read the guidelines for each manuscript type below.
Image Spotlight
These are images that represent either an innovative imaging or interventional technique, or an exceptional example of an uncommon entity in breast imaging. This is not a forum for case reports. These do not undergo peer review and are accepted at the discretion of the editor.
- Brief Title of 8 words or less
- Authors: no more than 2 authors
- Figure Limit: 4
- Brief description: no more than 500 words
- No references
Unknown Challenge
These are unknown cases with high-quality images and the following components: history, imaging findings, differential diagnosis, and discussion. These cases should be challenging, but the reader should be able to make the most likely diagnosis based on the information provided. These are not meant to be case reports. No more than two authors are allowed. These cases do not undergo peer review and are accepted at the discretion of the editor.
- History: There should be a few brief sentences of pertinent history.
- Images: Four to six images should be provided and the image legends should include a description of the findings, and the images should have relevant arrows or other markers.
- Imaging Findings: Brief text that summarizes the findings, building the case for the correct diagnosis.
- Differential Diagnosis: Briefly review the differential diagnosis and why the history and image finding point to the correct diagnosis.
- Diagnosis: A single statement.
- Discussion: Brief review of the diagnosis, including the imaging features, prevalence, and outcome. No more than 250 words.
- Reference limit: 8.

Study highlights use of contrast-enhanced mammography in women with breast implants
Diagnostic Imaging
For women with breast implants, new research suggests that contrast-enhanced mammography can be a viable screening option with negligible side effects. In a recently published study in Clinical Imaging, researchers performed 198 CEM exams in 104 women with breast implants. The researchers noted that 67% of the women had silicone implants, 31% had saline implants and 2% had both.

The SCOUT® Radar Localization system has been clinically demonstrated to drive value and improve patient outcomes. SCOUT is proven to improve radiology workflow and significantly reduce OR delays, meaning more successful surgeries, optimized breast conservation strategies, and enhanced outcomes for women.

AI identifies breast lesion subtypes, could prevent unnecessary biopsies
Health Imaging
Applying an artificial intelligence-based model to clinical mammograms could help identify not just breast cancer, but also breast cancer subtypes. Use of such a model was recently shown to have the potential to prevent up to 13% of unnecessary biopsies based on its performance in a cohort of nearly 3,000 women.

80% of patients in investigational breast cancer vaccine trial alive after 10 years
BioSpace
Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine have developed an investigational vaccine that can safely elicit an immune response against the HER2 protein, a key marker in breast cancer. Rather than preventing breast cancers from developing, this immunization approach instead primes the immune system to launch a much stronger offensive against the tumor.

7 ways AI shows promise for boosting DBT's benefits
Aunt Minnie
Digital breast tomosynthesis has gone mainstream, and its benefits are legion compared with digital mammography. Adding artificial intelligence to DBT could boost its value even more, a group from NYU Langone Health suggests.

Estrogen-induced immune changes within the normal mammary gland
Nature
Breast cancer incidence increases following aberrant hormone exposure, which has been linked to direct effects on estrogen receptor + mammary epithelium. While estrogen exposure during mammary involution has been shown to drive tumor growth via neutrophils, the potential for the ER + immune microenvironment to mediate part (in addition to mammary epithelial cells) of hormonally controlled BCa risk during normal development has not been assessed.

'Tremendous pressure' to keep up with radiologist workloads results in another missed diagnosis
Health Imaging
Reports of another missed radiological finding are currently circulating, and individuals involved in the latest situation are pointing fingers at the "tremendous pressure" radiologists are under due to their ever-growing workloads. Several news outlets in New Zealand are reporting on the case of a woman whose lung cancer diagnosis was delayed by several years due to an interpretation error.

Spectral evidence and other poor foundations for decision-making in radiology
Diagnostic Imaging
Eric Postal, M.D., writes: I spent an extended Halloween weekend in Salem, Massachusetts, this year. It had been on our "bucket list" for a while, and one pretty much has to book a year in advance to get decent accommodations. Lest your history classes were deficient or simply too far in the past for proper recollection, Salem's claim to infamy was a witch-hunting craze that seized the place in the early 1690s.
