October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when stories of hope, resilience, and unwavering dedication come to the forefront. At Medality, we are proud to support radiologists in their journeys to make a real difference in the lives of their patients and advocate for a better future. This month, we invite you to reflect on the remarkable role you play in the fight against breast cancer and to explore new tools that can enhance your ability to diagnose, treat, and ultimately save lives.
The Faces Behind the Fight
Everyday, breast imaging experts work tirelessly to unravel the complexities of breast cancer. They bring to life the transformative potential of technology and medicine in diagnosing and treating breast cancer with precision. This October, we recognize the contributions of experts like Dr. Rachel Brem, Dr. Petra Lewis, Dr. Lisa Mullen, Dr. Emily Conant, Dr. Ryan Woods, Dr. Emily Ambinder, Dr. Robyn Roth, Dr. Priyanka Handa, and Dr. Carolynn DeBenedectis.
These leaders in breast imaging are dedicated not only to their patients but also to educating the next generation of radiologists. They share their time and expertise so others can learn from real-world cases, reflect on diagnostic challenges, and apply new insights to improve patient outcomes.
A Journey Through Learning
Imagine walking into a reading room and opening a case file for a 32-year-old woman with a palpable breast mass and a family history of breast cancer. You feel the weight of responsibility on your shoulders—the outcomes you report could significantly alter the course of her life. Is the mass benign? Is it malignant? Does she have dense breast tissue? Should she have an ultrasound?
With courses like Breast MRI Expert Case Review and Radiology Diagnostic Breast Imaging: Mammo, Tomo, & Ultrasound, we aim to equip you with the skills to answer these questions confidently and accurately. These courses allow you to step into a virtual reading room, face complex cases, and develop the knowledge to recognize subtle abnormalities and interpret advanced imaging modalities.

Radiology Breast Imaging Noon Conferences
This month, radiologists can also join Dr. Amy Patel on October 17 for a Noon Conference on the new FDA breast density reporting guidelines. This discussion, titled “Breast Density: Insights and Cases from Past, Present, and Future,” is designed to prepare radiologists for the significant regulatory changes affecting breast imaging. With her guidance, radiologists will be able to understand these changes but also learn to integrate them into their practice to enhance patient care and compliance.
