Only 43% of women with disabilities receive American Society of Breast Surgeons-recommended mammography screening services, according to a new single-center study. 

Understanding which women have the greatest short-term risk could enable providers to implement targeted screening strategies to ensure malignancies are caught at the earliest possible stage.

Rising imaging volumes have led to an uptick in the unearthing of unexpected breast lesions, with a corresponding jump in follow-up examinations.

Experts have suggested the emerging technology could be a “pivotal” tool for the future of breast cancer detection. 

Placenta accreta spectrum is a serious and sometimes deadly perinatal complication. Instances of the condition have risen in recent decades, potentially due to an increase in cesarean deliveries.

“Clinicians should carefully weigh the additional resource utilization against the potential benefit," Yale University emergency medicine experts write in JACR. 

Removals are routinely completed in outpatient offices, but occasionally when complications make them more challenging, providers turn to additional tools for assistance. 

New research published in Lancet Digital Health details the improved cancer detection rates achieved when AI serves as a second reader. 

Experts involved in its development describe the model's capabilities as “a major milestone” in women’s health. 

The technology is said to be twice as accurate at predicting five-year cancer risk compared to current risk assessment methods.
