Hey med students 👋 I’m a radiologist who is married to a radiologist, & here are 5 reasons you should not sleep on radiology 🩻
1. Choose schedule & level of people interaction
2. Procedures
3. Important member of team
4. SIT IN A DARK QUIET ROOM ALL DAY
5. Salary (google it)

Prioritize your breast health. Someone is diagnosed with breast cancer every 2 minutes.
💕Do a monthly self-breast exam.
💕Get an annual mammogram starting at age 40 (or earlier if high-risk).
💕Consider adding ultrasound or MRI if you have dense breast tissue or ⬆️ risk.

5 things I would never do as a Breast
#Radiologist
💝
❌ Skip an annual mammogram
❌ Dismiss someone’s breast symptoms
❌ Say “you’re too young to get breast cancer 🚫
❌ Recommend mammography at age 50, every 2 years, & stopping at age 74
❌ Get a thermogram

Annual screening mammography saves the most lives‼️
Anything else prioritizes anxiety >> early breast cancer detection.
Give us the most life-saving info & let us decide how often to show & what we’re anxious about?
We’re big girls, we can handle it.

Women with dense breast tissue may benefit from supplemental imaging such as breast ultrasound or MRI depending on risks
Supplemental imaging has been shown to significantly increase sensitivity up to 90-95% when combined with digital mammography in women with dense breasts👩⚕️

Hey
#USPTF
✨ 1 in 6 breast cancers occur in women in their 40s
✨40% of years of life saved by mammography are women in their 40s
✨about 30,000 women a year are diagnosed with
#breastcancer
< age 50
So how could you recommend starting mammography at age 50 EVERY 2 YEARS?!🤯😬

UNDERUTILIZATION OF BREAST MRI💕
Screening breast MRI has ⬆️ in the past decade to 0.4% of adult women.
However, an estimated 9% of U.S. women are eligible for high-risk breast MRI screening.

Mammography alone can miss up to 50% of cancers in women with dense breasts.
Adding supplemental ultrasound, breast MRI, or contrast-mammography can increase

detection rates to 90-95%.

#scanxiety
is real😬
Even though I knew my mammo was probably going to be “normal” (cancer detection rate from a screening mammo is LOW, 3-5 per 1000 women)

Are you DENSE?💕
❌ Breast density has nothing to do with how your breasts look or feel.
✅ The only way to know your breast density is to read your mammo report.
The radiologist assigns ☝️ of 4 breast density categories based on the % of fat vs fibroglandular tissue 👩🏻⚕️

I applaud the USPTF changing the mammography screening recommendations back to starting at age 40, but every 2 years is not enough!
We know mammography is not perfect & interval cancers are common.
SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY STARTING AT AGE 40 EVERY YEAR SAVES THE MOST LIVES! 💕
Women should start getting screening mammograms at the age of 40, rather than 50, according to new draft recommendations from an influential national health panel, which found that starting breast cancer screening 10 years earlier could save thousands of lives per year.

Mammography every 2 years is 2 long, esp in young women & minorities who are more likely to develop aggressive breast ca, die from their disease, & have dense breasts 😬
EARLY DETECTION IS THE BREAST PROTECTION 💕 can ⬇️ morbidity/mortality & lead to better outcomes 🙌
