At ECR, four experts shared their views on the challenges of early cancer detection. The recorded version of this very interesting and well attended symposium is now available for you to watch and share with your colleagues.
Why do we miss cancers in mammography: What the DMIST trial tells us
Martin Yaffe, Professor, Toronto, Canada…
The mammography symposium held at ECR on March 6 attracted a large and highly qualified audience, all interested in how to improve cancer detection in mammography.

Digitization of the imaging procedure was a great leap forward, particularly in terms of workflow and dose efficiency. Although screening programs are proven to decrease breast cancer mortality by up to 45%, we still miss 30% of cancers. Also, high recall rates are a frequent source of debate. In short, there is still room for …

On September 1, 2011, Philips acquired the MicroDose operations from Sectra and hence all questions regarding photon-counting, low-dose mammography, MicroDose etc are referred …
Photon counting has gained significant momentum in x-ray imaging the last years. It continues to be a hot subject at this year’s RSNA as well, with discussions about how photon-counting can be used in different modalities.
“30 years from now all x-ray detectors for medical imaging will be photon counting. Why use any-thing else than the …
X–ray imaging has provided important diagnostic information for clinical applications for almost a century. It is well known that variations in x-ray attenuation create different grayscale levels that reveal detailed structural information with high spatial resolution. This remains true so long as the object components have differing x-ray absorption properties. X-rays have a spectrum of …
Photon counting is “one of the most important technology trends that may be the standard for all X-ray imaging in the future,” according to one RSNA 2008 special focus presenter.
‘In the next decade 80% of detectors used in medical X-ray imaging will be photon counting’
The fact that the female breast is one of the most radiation sensitive organs in the human body is a major driver for all those searching for low radiation alternatives – one of these routes lies in photon counting.
