Mammograms: Less Pain, Risk-Based Screens?

esearchers say a device to standardize the pressure applied during mammography could cut the pain of breast compression, while another group of researchers here found that risk-based screening for women in their 40s likely misses 75% of tumors in that age group. A third study also presented at the Radiological Society of North America meeting suggested adding a 3-dimensional view to digital mammography would help with detection in dense or fatty breasts. http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/RSNA/48918?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2014-12-04&utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DailyHeadlines&utm_source=ST&eun=g721819d0r&userid=721819&email=amydugan2%40gmail.com&mu_id=5883165&utm_term=Daily
