The review was conducted by face-to-face and telephone interviews with 35 stakeholders from UK centres of excellence, international experts, industry and other funders (list at appendix 1). Data were also collected on facilities, resources and numbers of scans conducted across the centres of excellence using a questionnaire. The review has focused predominantly on PET imaging, but given MRC’s significant recent investment in other imaging modalities (7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), hyperpolarised MRI) through the Clinical Research Infrastructure (CRI) Initiative, these are also considered more briefly.

What is Our Goal? • Decrease breast cancer mortality • Reduction in the morbidities associated with surgery and chemotherapy • Finding breast cancers at a smaller size and earlier stage leads to a reduction in mortality and the use of less aggressive therapies Reservoir of Breast Cancer Present in 1000 Women Being Screened • Is it 30, 40, 50, 60 or more breast cancers per 1000 women? • Depends on risk of population • Detection level (size and stage) depends on modality and frequency of screening Reservoir of Breast Cancer Present in 1000 Women Being Screened Tomo plus WBUS The Dissemination of Medical Technologies into Clinical Practice • Innovations medical in technology and quality of information are the sole driving force in the acceptance and adoption of new technologies • The dissemination of medical technologies depends on the social, political and ideological context into which they are introduced Much Can Be Learned From the History of Mammography • Despite improvements in technology, mammography languished from 1930s to 1970 – 1930-1950 Stafford L.

  • Diagnostic Radiography Is the Production of High Quality Images for the Purpose of Diagnosis of Injury Or Disease
    A Career in Medical Imaging What is Diagnostic Radiography / Medical Imaging? Diagnostic Radiography is the production of high quality images for the purpose of diagnosis of injury or disease. It is a pivotal aspect of medicine and a patient's diagnosis and ultimate treatment is often dependent on the images produced. Diagnostic Radiography uses both ionising and non-ionising radiation in the imaging process. The equipment used is at the high end of technology and computerisation within medicine. What does a Diagnostic Radiographer / Medical Imaging Technologist do? A Diagnostic Radiographer/Medical Imaging Technologist is a key member of the health care team. They are responsible for producing high quality medical images that assist medical specialists and practitioners to describe, diagnose, monitor and treat a patient’s injury or illness. Much of the medical equipment used to gain the images is highly technical and involves state of the art computerisation. A Diagnostic Radiographer/Medical Imaging Technologist needs to have the scientific and technological background to understand and use the equipment within a modern Radiology department as well as compassion and strong interpersonal skills. They need to be able to demonstrate care and understanding and have a genuine interest in a patient's welfare. The Diagnostic Radiographer/Medical Imaging Technologist will also need to be able to explain to the patient the need for the preparation and post examination care as well as the procedure to be undertaken. The Diagnostic Radiographer/Medical Imaging Technologist is able to work in a highly advanced technical profession that requires excellent people skills. It is an exciting and rewarding profession to embark on and great opportunities await the graduate.

    Medical Policy Joint Medical Policies are a source for BCBSM and BCN medical policy information only. These documents are not to be used to determine benefits or reimbursement. Please reference the appropriate certificate or contract for benefit information. This policy may be updated and is therefore subject to change. *Current Policy Effective Date: 7/1/21 (See policy history boxes for previous effective dates) Title: Breast Elastography – Ultrasound or Magnetic Resonance Description/Background In the United States, about 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2020, is it estimated that there will be over 280,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in women and over 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer in men.1 Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide.2 Mammography remains the generally accepted standard diagnostic test for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. The incidence of breast cancer has led to research on new diagnostic imaging techniques for early diagnosis. Elasticity is the property of a substance to be deformed in response to an external force and to resume its original size and shape when the force is removed. In evaluation of superficial tissue such as skin, breast or prostate, manual palpation can distinguish normal tissue from stiffer tissue. Elastography is a noninvasive technique that evaluates the elastic properties, or stiffness of tissues, and its application for diagnosing breast cancer is based on the principle that malignant tissue is less elastic than normal, healthy breast tissue. Elastography has been investigated as an additive technique to increase the specificity of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.
