Dear Women's Imaging Insider,
It's no secret that the delivery of healthcare is moving from a volume-based framework to one focused on value. The shift is challenging imaging providers to differentiate themselves from the pack.
In this edition of the Women's Imaging Insider, we're offering suggestions for how your breast center can set itself apart from the competition. Some of them may surprise you -- click here to read more.
When you're finished with our Insider Exclusive, check out what else is going on in the Women's Imaging Community lately, much of which has to do with breast cancer screening:
- Read what U.K. researchers have to say about how digital breast tomosynthesis boosts mammography's specificity -- and cuts recall rates by more than half.
- Find out why women who are at high risk for breast cancer may not be getting the preventive care they need.
- Check out our coverage of the recent American Association of Physicists in Medicine annual meeting, including research that suggests mammography's radiation dose is 30% less than thought, as well as a new technique that calculates fetal dose from CT scans given to pregnant women.
- Discover why an abbreviated breast MR protocol that results in faster scans works just as well as a full one.
- Get the scoop on a new clinical trial that will investigate breast MR's performance as an adjunct to mammography in women with dense tissue.
