Week in Review: ECR doesn’t disappoint | Global breast cancer cases surge | ABR board certification changes

This week, our sister site, AuntMinnieEurope, has been chock-full of reporting on the ECR in Vienna, Austria, and we’ve been sharing some of the content on AuntMinnie as well. For full ECR coverage, click here.

Our top AuntMinnie story of the week described sobering results from a Lancet Oncology study that found that global breast cancer cases are on the rise and could hit 3.5 million by 2050. Our second most-popular article featured an interview with Charlotte Taylor, MD, vice chair of education and residency program director at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Taylor discussed how the American Board of Radiology (ABR) board certification timeline will affect residents.

Readers also showed interest in a study out of Stanford that found an AI model shows promise for reading CT scans like radiologists do — that is, in three dimensions. Fourth on the week’s list was an article about how media reporting may overlook key aspects of breast cancer screening guidelines, while our fifth most-clicked story covered a March 3 U.S. Senate committee hearing on AI safety and productivity in the healthcare sphere.
