According to the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) and the results of the Digital Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (DMIST), which was conducted between July 2001 and November 2003, overall digital and filmscreen mammography are comparable methodologies.
Supplementing mammography with ultrasound raised the rate of diagnosis by 55% in the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) 6666 study, the largest randomized clinical trial to compare the performance of mammography plus ultrasound with that of mammography alone in high-risk women, according to the researchers.
A new study conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN(r)) and the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) is now underway to evaluate the ability of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) with Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET/CT) and MRI with the contrast agent Combidex (ferumoxtran-10) to identify pelvic and abdominal lymph node metastases in patients with locoregionally advanced cervical cancer.
Digital Mammography Study In the largest cancer screening trial in history, published in September by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN), GE's Senographe digital mammography system was used for more exams than any other digital system (44%).
Hendrick was co-principal investigator of the Digital Mammography Screening Trial (DMIST) affiliated with the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN).
In the largest cancer screening trial in history, published last month by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN), GE's Senographe digital mammography system was used for more exams than any other digital system.
The trial was funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) and included researchers at 33 sites across the United States and Canada.
The Clinical Trial Data Collection System is funded by a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in support of the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN).
