Published: June 2021

We propose a study type that would contribute to the evidence base related to border control measures. Over a study period during which arriving travellers are quarantined, repeated testing and/or screening at regular intervals would provide real-world data on the relative and combined effects of various screening and testing measures.

False-Negative Review from the Mammography Audit: Refining Breast Imaging Practice.

Radiographics

February 2025

From the Washington University School of Medicine, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, 510 S Kingshighway Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63110.

Annual review of false-negative (FN) mammograms is a mandatory and critical component of the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) annual mammography audit. FN review can help hone reading skills and improve the ability to detect cancers at mammography. Subtle architectural distortion, asymmetries (seen only on one view), small lesions, lesions with probably benign appearance (circumscribed regular borders), isolated microcalcifications, and skin thickening are the most common mammographic findings when the malignancy is visible at retrospective review of FN mammograms.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. Detecting AD early and tracking its development is essential for better management. This study delves into the potential of radiomics to identify the AD stages and monitor its progression using FDG PET images.
