Radiologists offer an approach to avoid confusion among patients and clinicians.
Para evitar la confusión de los pacientes y sus proveedores, y para evitar retrasos en las vacunaciones o en las mamografías recomendadas durante la pandemia, los radiólogos de Massachusetts General Hospital han publicado un enfoque para el manejo de lo que se espera sea un caso bastante común.
يُعد تورُّم العُقد الليمفاوية في منطقة الإبط نتيجة طبيعية للقاحات كوفيد-19، ولكن عند رؤيتها في تصوير الثدي الشُّعاعي، قد يُخلط بينها وبين العُقد المُتورّمة بسبب السرطان.
Experts offer guidance to reduce false positive tests and avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Investigators at MIT and MGH have collaborated to develop a new AI model to predict a woman’s future risk of breast cancer based on her mammogram alone, and performed validation trials in patient populations in Europe and Asia.
