@MommyHasCancer Done and shared. Luck for you has been put out to the Universe friend…❤️

17% of women 60+ had increasing breast density over 10 years — not decreasing.

HRT, family history, later menopause all played a role. Density stays dynamic, and so should screening conversations.

It was great to talk to @ianhanomansing about using AI for breast screening ! The next question is what do patients think about it 🤔

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

Informed consent has been conflated with talking about risk alone. It’s talking benefit and risk INCLUDING the risk of refusal.

If you have dense breasts you require supplemental screening via ultrasound or MRI. Do not let anyone dismiss you. It may save your life.

September is prostate cancer awareness month.

Prostate cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in Canada.

Men are waiting too long for prostate biopsies. We need to advocate for better access to medical imaging, ensuring timely care and better outcomes.

[Dr. Brenda Farnquist @DrBrendaF]

The demands on radiologists has increased—more studies, more images, and greater complexity, all while facing staffing shortages. Radiologists are burnt out. Embracing AI in MI could be the key to easing these pressures, while improving patient outcomes. Do you agree?

[Dr. Brenda Farnquist @DrBrendaF]

Systems need to be put in place, so we can appropriately triage studies.

"There is evidence that a centralized intake system, if implemented correctly, results in accelerated examination forwarding and elimination of duplicate scans."
