Breast Imaging Essentials is a special issue of Radiologic Clinics that features expert contributions on key topics in breast imaging. Guest editors Drs. Yiming Gao and Samantha L. Heller have assembled a team of top experts to cover various aspects of the field, including artificial intelligence (AI) and breast imaging, mammography with or without MRI, the latest updates in the BRCA gene and breast imaging, and more. The issue contains 13 relevant, practice-oriented topics, including clinical integration of AI for breast imaging, patient communication innovations in breast imaging, contrast enhanced mammography vs. MRI, non-contrast breast MRI, AI in breast cancer risk assessment, and more.

The issue provides in-depth clinical reviews on breast imaging essentials, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. It presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

One of the key topics covered in the issue is the clinical integration of AI for breast imaging. AI has the potential to revolutionize the field of breast imaging by improving the accuracy, efficiency, and speed of diagnosis. The issue includes several articles that discuss the various applications of AI in breast imaging, including image analysis, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Patient communication innovations in breast imaging are also highlighted in the issue. With the increasing use of imaging technologies, it is important to ensure that patients are well-informed about their imaging results and the associated risks. The issue includes several articles that discuss the use of patient-centered communication techniques, such as visual aids, patient education materials, and patient-centered care pathways, to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.

Contrast enhanced mammography vs. MRI is another important topic covered in the issue. While MRI is a highly sensitive imaging modality that can detect small breast lesions, it is also expensive and has a higher radiation dose than mammography. The issue includes several articles that discuss the use of contrast enhanced mammography in combination with MRI to improve the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis.

Non-contrast breast MRI is also discussed in the issue. Non-contrast breast MRI is a non-invasive imaging modality that can detect breast lesions without the use of contrast agents. The issue includes several articles that discuss the use of non-contrast breast MRI in various clinical settings, including screening, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

AI in breast cancer risk assessment is another important topic covered in the issue. AI can be used to analyze large datasets of breast imaging data and identify patterns that may indicate the risk of breast cancer. The issue includes several articles that discuss the use of AI in breast cancer risk assessment, including the development of risk prediction models and the use of AI in screening programs.

In addition to the clinical topics, the issue also includes several articles that discuss the ethical and legal implications of breast imaging. The issue includes articles that discuss the use of imaging in research, the use of imaging in clinical practice, and the protection of patient privacy.

Overall, Breast Imaging Essentials is a valuable resource for radiologists, breast imaging specialists, and other healthcare professionals who are interested in staying up-to-date on the latest developments in breast imaging. The issue provides in-depth clinical reviews on breast imaging essentials, offers actionable insights for clinical practice, and presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field.
