Mammo Reading Done Mostly With Computer Help (en inglés)
In computer-aided detection (CAD), a radiologist uses a computer program to help find breast cancer in a mammogram. The study reviewed here found that CAD was used in 74% of screening mammograms paid f...

ASCO Breast: Gamma Imaging Tops Breast Ultrasound (en inglés)
A study found that a relatively new type of breast imaging, breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI), is better than ultrasound at finding breast cancer when a screening mammogram shows a suspicious area. ...

ASCO Breast: Data Affirm Small Benefit for Early Mammography (en inglés)
In the United States, recommendations call for annual screening mammograms to start at age 40. Research analyses, including one by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, have questioned the value of ...

Modest Mortality Benefit Seen for Screening Mammography (en inglés)
A Norwegian study suggests that screening mammograms don't save as many lives as was previously thought. Still, the results are controversial and some researchers, as well as Breastcancer.org experts, ...
