Mary's Musings: Is pathomics the new radiomics?
Pathomics is to pathology as radiomics is to radiology, writes Dr. Mary Morrison Saltz in a new column, in which she discusses the challenges and possibilities of utilizing such data to help provide patient-centered care.

Mary's Musings: Can big data add insight to breast screening?
Dr. Mary Morrison Saltz enters the fray over breast screening in this month's column, in which she addresses the uncertainty over whether screening mammography is effective and how it might be improved. She also makes a surprising confession of her own.

Mary's Musings: Radiologists must rule professional evaluation
Physician performance evaluation is moving from a nice-to-have option to a necessity, thanks to Joint Commission rules being adopted across the U.S. Dr. Mary Morrison Saltz believes this is a good time for radiologists to take control of the evaluation process -- before someone does it for them.

Mary's Musings: Teamwork and proper exposure for radiologists
The theme of the RSNA 2013 meeting is "The Power of Partnership." This has prompted Dr. Mary Morrison Saltz to ponder what the role of partnership means in an era when technology seems to have taken the human element out of much of what radiologists do. Can technology bring the human touch back?

Mary's Musings: Do radiologists have x-ray vision?
If you might have cancer, you want a radiologist looking for the disease. But what if you've lost your cellphone? Do radiologists have unique powers of perception that carry over into the nonmedical world? Dr. Mary Morrison Saltz explores this tantalizing question in this installment of Mary's Musings.

Mary's Musings: Why the world of radiology still belongs to men
Some recent articles have suggested the existence of a gender gap in pay for radiologists. In my experience, I've never made as much as my male colleagues -- and that's OK with me. Why? Let me tell you a story of not so long ago.

Mary's Musings: An x-ray jacket -- the radiology wiki that was
Mornings were rough, but Sylvia was right there with a cup of coffee, just the way I liked it. That was pretty special, a mark of importance, because she didn't bring coffee to just anyone -- after all, she was the linchpin of the radiology department. Why? She ran the file room.

Mary's Musings: Is the private-practice radiologist extinct?
Back when I finished training, most really strong residents went out and sought the best private-practice opportunities -- good groups with a sure path to partnership. Sure, money was part of it, but community and a feeling of belonging were also strong drivers. Yet, with larger groups and a changing culture, how are things today?

Mary's Musings: Imaging management and the new paradigm
I had the nightmare of diagnosing my mother's terminal cancer myself, and she was dead within the week. This was after months of state-of-the-art care rendered by doctors at an esteemed academic medical center. How could this have happened in this millennium?

Ultrasound nonmass breast lesion features may signal malignancy
By Amerigo Allegretto
Some nonmass breast lesion characteristics on ultrasound exams can be considered suspicious for malignancy at screening ultrasound.
November 5, 2024
Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a malignant non-mass lesion that was diagnosed as microinvasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Transverse and (B) longitudinal ultrasound images show a hypoechoic non-mass lesion (solid arrows) with segmental distribution in the left breast. The lesion has associated calcifications (dashed arrows in A). (C) Longitudinal color Doppler ultrasound image shows high vascularity. (D) Magnified image in the mediolateral oblique view from screening mammography shows grouped calcifications (arrows), which are considered a mammographic correlate of the ultrasound-detected non-mass lesion (A radiopaque marker attached to the skin is visible in the image because the mammographic exam was performed after screening breast ultrasound). Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and pathologic examination revealed ductal carcinoma in situ, but the lesion was upgraded to microinvasive ductal carcinoma at subsequent surgery (2.5-cm ductal carcinoma in situ, histologic grade II, estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-negative).
