Remembering Dr. Nancy Cappello A patient advocate and champion of breast density awareness has passed away, but not without leaving her mark on the world

Could a new technique make ultrasound interpretation easier? Enhanced contrast, considers intensity and duration of echoes
DBT detects 34 percent more cancers than 2D mammo Increased recall rate should not be a concern, expert says
Are women at low risk undergoing unneeded imaging due to dense breasts? Breast density notification laws may have unintended consequences
Is AI a match for manual interpretation of breast density? Study equates algorithm to experienced mammographer
GE to provide training to at least 140 Kenyan radiographers Partnering with Society of Radiography in Kenya
GE launches Invenia ABUS 2.0 in US Fifty five percent more efficient in detecting breast cancer than mammography alone
More than 20 percent of insured mammo screenings require some out-of-pocket payment Could prevent screening for lower-income women
New AI approach identifies recalled but benign mammograms May reduce workload by providing more accurate recall selection
Etta Pisano
“Dr. Pisano is a giant in the clinical research community. She will identify clinical and socioeconomic research opportunities that can advance the practice of radiology and improve patient care. We are proud to have her as chief research officer for the entire College which will allow us to tap her talents and experience across the ACR,” said William T. Thorwarth, MD, FACR, chief executive officer of the American College of Radiology.

Pisano may be best known for leading landmark clinical research trials. She is principal investigator for the Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST ). Involving nearly 165,000 women, TMIST compares standard digital mammography (2-D) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to determine if DBT is more effective at reducing advanced breast cancers. TMIST will create the world’s largest aggregation of data, images and biospecimens arising from a clinical research trial.
Pisano previously led the Digital Mammography Screening Trial (DMIST ) — which accrued 49,528 women to compare effectiveness of digital mammography to film mammography. DMIST results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2005, dramatically changed breast cancer screening guidelines and reimbursement.
