The Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) has issued a new policy statement on diversity and inclusion, emphasizing the belief that “all people for whom breast cancer screening is appropriate should receive the opportunity to undergo screening.”

The lack of a structured reporting system for imaging technologists could be threatening the readability of studies in the field, a team of U.K. researchers reported this month in Radiography. But some argue a more rigid format would distract from the cognitive processes that make radiology reports so valuable in the first place.

The economic environment for breast imaging is already complex and still evolving. Keeping up requires understanding the dynamics at work.

Many breast imaging facilities in the United States lack policies that focus on providing friendly, inclusive care to transgender patients, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Women who prioritize annual mammograms starting at the age of 40 have the greatest chance of catching, treating and surviving breast cancer, a study published this month in the Journal of the American College of Radiology suggests.

Seven years after the FDA approved the first tomosynthesis device for breast cancer screening, adoption rates for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) remain on an upswing. Earlier this year the agency reported a nearly 30 percent increase of certified mammography facilities offering DBT—aka “3D mammography,” aka “tomo”—over just the past year (from 3,178 facilities in March 2017 to 4,074 in March 2018).
