Why #AI mammography will not only help more accurately diagnose breast cancer, but also identify high-risk individuals for close surveillance and prevention cell.com/trends/cancer/fullt… @WendyIngman

I'm really excited about how artificial intelligence is enabling us to look deeper into the patterns of breast density on a mammogram and pull out the features that most strongly predict future breast cancer.
See our new paper for the full story.

Are you wondering why different Australian states have different policies when it comes to breast density notification? Here is the full explainer, and how you can be involved in shaping national BreastScreen policy.

What is the personal impact of not being told about your #BreastDensity?
Read Krysty Sullivan's experience with breast cancer diagnosis and why she's advocating for women to be told their density when they have a mammogram. @BeInforMD_ @KSSulliva

There is growing awareness of #BreastDensity in Australia, but is this awareness leading to knowledge of what breast density actually is? In this pre-print, we investigate the factors associated with increased knowledge of breast density.

We've been working on new imaging technologies that can detect breast cancer in high #BreastDensity tissue, and I'm very pleased to share our first publication where we investigate the wave propagation characteristics of breast tissues

A big win for South Australian women today! We're the first state in Australia to report all categories of breast density to all women attending BreastScreen.
Such important information for women to know so they can make the best choices for their breast health.
South Australian women going for a mammogram will soon become the first in the nation to also be able to learn their breast density.
Density can mask signs of cancer and knowing where they stand can lessen the risk of women suffering serious disease.

Should women be warned about breast density? I spoke to Cate Swannell from @Medicalrepublic on this topic together with patients and breast cancer screening experts.
Listen to the podcast and decide for yourself.

John Hopper - why study MD? Digital mammography and AI have changed our ability to assess MD and understanding risk. MD makes it hard to find cancers. Can we work out how to find the masked cancers #WhyMD2022

Only 56.5% of women surveyed had heard about #densebreasts #breastdensity
Today is #WorldDenseBreastDay

Assessing Australian women’s knowledge of breast density. @AvisakBhattach1 reports that 4 out of 5 women want to know their density.

What a joy to chair the talk of @DrKaraBritt @WendyIngman reviewing our collaborative pathobiology studies of mammographic density / #breast density over past 15 years @honor_hugo @BeInforMD_ @BreastDense @densebreastscdn @TRI_info @QUT

We really are on the cusp of new innovations that will change breast screening using the information contained in mammograms. Particularly in the AI space. What exciting developments do the next 2 years hold?

Excellent talk by @lavallymaeve at #YMD2022 on the potential for breast density measures defined at increasing thresholds to inform breast cancer etiology @Volpara @RCSI_Irl

Bright: the new white. Can we better identify areas of high risk within dense tissue and understand it’s biological components? Asks Rik Thompson.
