CT scans save lives, but unsafe radiation doses can cause cancer. CMS wants to make radiation safety reporting voluntary. Patients deserve protection, not risk.
👉 Tell CMS to keep protections mandatory by Sept 15:

New BCSC study finds that reducing racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer survival among women with a breast lump requires targeted efforts to reduce the risk of poor prognosis tumors in addition to improved accuracy of cancer detection. bcsc-research.org/bcsc-blog/…
New study published by one of my PhD students found that children with Down syndrome receive 10 times as many medical imaging examinations as other children, with implications for their lifetime cancer risks.

UCD & UCSF led BCSC study shows BMI accounts for a large amount of variation in breast density across racial and ethnic groups, with important implications for the new federal breast density notification law. Read more here: bcsc-research.org/bcsc-blog/… @UCD_Cancer @UCDavis_PHS

Women who haven’t had a mammogram in the prior 5 years may want to ask the facility if they could be scheduled for immediate interpretation of their screening mammogram to reduce their chances of having to return for a follow-up visit. @BCSC_research #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

So proud of our @UCDavisMed, which received a record-breaking $396 million – almost 40% of @UCDavis’ historic total of $1 billion. Now, UC Davis joins an exclusive group of less than 20 public universities in the nation to surpass $1B in research funding.

A new study finds that 3D mammogram screenings are more accurate than digital ones, and lead to less false positive results for breast abnormalities. ABC News’ @EvaPilgrim breaks it down.
