Status Update: 2023 Dues Renewal
SBI
The Society of Breast Imaging is currently in the process of transitioning into a new membership database system. As such, the ability to renew your dues for 2023 has been deactivated. This database implementation, which will coincide with the debut of a refreshed SBI website, will occur next month. As a result, dues renewal will be delayed.
If you are a new member, please check back for your renewal status in a couple of weeks. If you are already in the SBI member database, detailed instructions on accessing your member profile will be provided in future email communications.
We thank you for your patience during this time.

Synergistic targeting and chemotherapy of breast cancer
Dove Medical Press
Approximately 15-30% of breast cancers have gene amplification or overexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, resulting in the chemotherapy resistance, a more-aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis.

Quality improvements lead to rebounding cancer screening numbers
Aunt Minnie
Implementing quality improvement interventions as part of a national collaborative led to rebound volumes in cancer screening, according to findings published Nov. 16 in JAMA Network Open. A team led by Dr. Rachel Hae-Soo Joung of Northwestern University in Chicago reported that nearly 80% of programs for breast, lung, colorectal and cervical cancer screening accomplished the goal of restoring screening to pre-COVID-19 volumes, as well as achieving a minimum of 10% growth.

New data deepens debate over links between breast arterial calcification and CAD
Health Imaging
The presence of breast arterial calcifications on mammography exams might not be as indicative of cardiovascular risk as previously thought, according to new data. Although a growing body of evidence supports the reporting of BAC visualized on mammograms, exactly how it relates to a woman's risk of cardiovascular disease — coronary artery disease in particular — is still routinely debated.

Scientists fashion tiny 'lyre' to ensure medical imaging systems are in tune
Medical Xpress
Skoltech researchers have created a solution for quick functional checks of optoacoustic microscopes and tomographs. These are diagnostic devices that use harmless laser irradiation and ultrasound waves instead of X-rays for detecting breast cancer and, potentially, diagnosing early-stage skin cancer and identifying atherosclerotic plaque type, if used endoscopically.

PET/CT proves value in guiding breast cancer therapy
Aunt Minnie Europe
FDG-PET/CT can help guide therapy in breast cancer, particularly in distant disease staging and treatment response assessment, the leading Austrian researcher Dr. Katja Pinker-Domenig told a hybrid imaging event.

Spontaneous angiolipoma in autologous flap reconstruction
Cureus
Breast cancer recurrence after autologous flap reconstruction is rare and typically occurs at the contact zone between the flap and the native tissue. When a new lesion is found in a reconstructed breast without the characteristic appearance of benign entities such as fat necrosis, definitive tissue diagnosis is often warranted to rule out recurrence or metastasis.

3D VR-based learning improves radiography student performance
Aunt Minnie
3D virtual reality simulation-based learning appears to improve the performance of first-year radiography students in clinical settings, an Irish team has found. The findings bode well for the use of VR in training novice radiographers, wrote researchers Michelle O'Connor, Ph.D., and Dr. Louise Rainford, both of the University College Dublin in Ireland.
