Of all the departments in a hospital, radiology arguably holds the most and richest variety of data. There’s so much data, in fact, that it can be difficult to know what to do with it all and how to handle it. As the healthcare industry continues to shift toward a value-based payment model, utilizing that data becomes even more important as hospitals take a look at their operations and try to improve their performance. For radiology departments struggling with information overload, business analytics can provide a solution.
Calculating and tracking mammographic compression pressure could help standardize mammography quality and patient experience, according to a study published in the European Jorunal of Radiology (EJR).
Multiple studies and products were presented at the 2014 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference in December about emerging technologies in breast imaging, with a focus on how they will affect women who have dense breasts. Most researchers have been comparing the utility of mammography screening versus tomosynthesis.
To help improve breast cancer screening for the 40 percent of American women with dense breasts, Volpara Solutions announced it has signed an agreement enabling GE Healthcare to distribute VolparaDensity, VolparaAnalytics and VolparaDoseRT.
Volpara now offers products to track breast density in mammography, X-ray radiation dose and analytical data. The ...
The value of volumetric breast density to help improve breast cancer risk prediction models and monitor clinical treatment was the focus of numerous abstracts presented at the 2014 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS).
The value of volumetric breast imaging data to provide critical insight for optimal breast imaging quality and workflow was the focus of numerous abstracts accepted for presentation at the 100th Annual Meeting of the Radiology Society of North America (RSNA), November 30-December 5, 2014.
Volpara Solutions announced the launch of the VolparaDensity version 3.0 breast density assessment tool at the 100th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 30-Dec. 5 in Chicago.
Volpara Solutions launched VolparaAnalytics version 1.2 at RSNA 2014.
The accurate measurement of mammographic density offers the potential to improve breast cancer risk prediction and to tailor screening protocols according to risk, according to a study published in Breast Cancer Research (16:439 doi:10.1186/s13058-014-0439-1). The article, “Digital mammographic density and breast cancer risk: a case-control study of six alternative density assessment methods,” demonstrates a strong connection between breast density and breast cancer risk.
