Over the last decade, the impact of dense fibroglandular breast tissue on breast cancer screening has become a prominent topic of national conversation among those fighting the disease. Screening is the first line of defense for patients, and the realization that their mammography results may not be accurate has caused concern. While mammography remains the gold standard for breast cancer detection and diagnosis, the “one-size-fits-all” approach of years past has evolved as patients and providers drive toward more personalized screening programs. While several technologies and other new developments have propelled this idea forward, automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) has gone a long way toward cementing the idea of patient-specific breast cancer screening protocols and programs.

The radiology landscape is pocked with cyber mines. And it’s getting worse. Legacy imaging systems are connected to picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), which are being linked to electronic medical record (EMR) systems and best of breed IT systems, as hospitals increasingly move to enterprise imaging. These make tempting targets for hackers. And the worsening situation is being caused by the best intentions.

The implementation of electronic health records (EHR) has created an expectation that all patient data, including images, should be available in one location. Today, reports describing images are not enough, as many referring physicians want to see the images, and many use them to help guide therapies. This has caused an increased demand to exchange medical images in the various departments of healthcare settings.

The continuum of personalized care, covering individualized prevention and therapy, translates into multiple changes to patient data sources. One of the primary sources is medical imaging that evolves into various multimodalities, allowing simultaneous acquisition of clinical images. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) systems have been around for more than a decade, and now PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners are working to reach the market.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines radiographic/fluoroscopy (R/F) as a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor, much like an X-ray movie. During a fluoroscopy procedure, an X-ray beam is passed through the body. The image is transmitted to a monitor so the movement of a body part or of an instrument or contrast agent through the body can be seen in detail.

Although new technology and research has helped in the fight against breast cancer, death rates continue to be steady in women younger than 50, and continue to decrease in older women, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). This decline is believed to be a result of finding breast cancer earlier thanks to improved screening technology, better treatment options and widespread awareness.

A shorter course of radiation therapy given to breast cancer patients following mastectomy is safe and effective and cuts treatment time in half. That is according to data from a phase II clinical trial conducted by Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey investigators and other colleagues who examined a hypofractionated regimen given over three weeks versus the traditional six week course of treatment. The work appears in the current online edition of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
