In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone discusses various aspects of hormone health, particularly focusing on breast cancer screening methods including mammography, ultrasound, and thermography. He shares insights from his book, 'The Hormone Balance Bible', and emphasizes the importance of understanding different testing methods, their pros and cons, and emerging technologies in breast imaging. The conversation aims to empower women with knowledge about their health and the options available for cancer detection and prevention. Episode Highlights: The Hormone Balance Bible provides insights into hormone imbalances. Mammography, ultrasound, and thermography are key breast cancer screening methods. Each screening method has its own pros and cons. Thermography is a physiological test, while mammography and ultrasound are structural tests. Mammograms can miss fast-growing tumors due to their nature. Ultrasound can detect some tumors missed by mammograms. Thermography has a lower false positive rate compared to mammograms and ultrasounds. Emerging technologies like the QT scan may offer new options for breast imaging. Prevention is more important than detection in cancer care. Women should choose the screening method that resonates with them.

Welcome back to A Couple of Rad Techs Podcast! Zulema Solis RT (R)(M) is a Mammography Technologist for 9 years and is about to start my 10th year. I knew I wanted to be an X-ray tech since the 10th grade and actively pursued this career since then. About a year ago I started my Etsy store to help other mammogram techs with badge buddy cards and also started a TikTok page to create more interest in mammography. Zulema's high school placed a significant emphasis on students taking community college classes, which were almost mandatory throughout their education. Although Zulema had a strong interest in pursuing a career in X-ray technology, her counselors lacked knowledge about the field. Despite this, she strategically focused on completing transferable community college courses, particularly in general education and science. This foresight ensured that her credits would be recognized by any future college or university she attended. Understanding that most X-ray programs require applicants to be at least 18 years old, Zulema concentrated on gathering the necessary prerequisites during high school. By the time she graduated, she was well-prepared to focus exclusively on her X-ray studies, poised to achieve her career aspirations.Mammography is a vital yet often overlooked specialty in the field of radiology, and in this lively discussion, host Chaundria and guest Zulema dive deep into the ins and outs of pursuing a career in this area. With Zulema's ten years of experience, they explore the numerous opportunities available for radiologic technologists looking to transition into mammography, emphasizing the importance of gaining additional certifications right after X-ray school. They share personal stories and practical tips on navigating the challenges of the profession, from patient interactions to the unique skills required for mammography. Zulema highlights the significance of fostering a supportive environment within the workplace and the benefits of sharing knowledge among colleagues. This episode is packed with valuable insights, humor, and encouragement for anyone considering a career in mammography or looking to enrich their current practice.Wrapping up their enlightening conversation, Chaundria and Zulema tackle the logistical aspects of working as a mammography technologist, such as scheduling, work-life balance, and the potential for travel opportunities. They highlight the flexibility that can come with mammography roles, contrasting them with other imaging specialties that may require more demanding hours or on-call duties. Zulema discusses her own work arrangements, illustrating how she has managed to carve out a fulfilling career while balancing personal commitments, including motherhood. This episode serves as a practical guide for aspiring mammographers, addressing how to approach job searches, negotiate work conditions, and seek out professional development opportunities. With a blend of humor and candidness, Shandria and Zulema empower listeners to pursue their passions in radiology, reinforcing the idea that a career in mammography can be both rewarding and sustainable. Their shared experiences and insights create a rich tapestry of advice and encouragement that will resonate with both seasoned professionals and newcomers alike.Takeaways: Mammography is an essential yet underappreciated field in radiology, offering many career opportunities. Starting a mammography career immediately after X-ray school provides a smoother transition and less stress. Mammography technologists can enjoy flexible schedules, often avoiding weekend and holiday shifts. Building relationships and sharing knowledge among mammography techs creates a supportive work environment. Engaging with patients compassionately is key to successful mammography practices and personal job satisfaction. Social media is a powerful tool for aspiring radiology...

On this week's program, host Allison Donahue speaks with Becky Mercier, Trinity Health Breast Imaging Supervisor on the importance of mobile mammography in the battle against breast cancer. In just one year, the mobile mammography unit at Trinity Health Grand Rapids has completed over 2,000 breast screenings and diagnosed 13 patients. The 40-foot bus, equipped with top-quality 3-D imaging capability, provides increased access to care in our community by visiting neighborhoods, partnering with organizations, and making breast care convenient. In 2020, nearly half of eligible women in Grand Rapids' racial and ethnically diverse neighborhoods didn't have access to mammograms. The unit is committed to combatting this lack of reach, and they've begun to work towards it in the first year. More info: Trinity Health Mobile Mammography

This Episode is going to blow your mind!! Erik Rifkin PhD, an environmental scientist and author of "The Illusion of certainty," and most recently his book, "Interpreting Health Risks and Benefits,"breaks down the huge difference between "Relative Risk" VS "Absolute Risk"...and the difference is staggering!! We look at many commonplace medical tests and treatments and how effective they actually are when viewed through the lens of absolute risk rather than relative risk. Learn just how effective, or not, test such as mammograms, bone density tests, PSA testing, colonoscopy's, cholesterol medication and more actually are.   Prefer to watch this interview on YouTube?

People have been asking to hear survivor stories, and boy do I have one today! We are going to discuss the controversial topic of DCIS with Donna Pinto, her journey, and the inspirational work that she does. Though she was pretty healthy, she received the shocking news that she had ductal carcinoma in situ, which was explained to her to be “pre-cancer,” but something that they treat exactly like breast cancer and her options for treatment weren't great. When this precancer was first studied, doctors learned that it was a 50/50 chance that a patient would go on to have breast cancer, so the decision was made to treat all cases as if they were cancer to have a higher chance of saving that 50% of people who could get the full disease. And today, Donna shares her story and what you need to know about DCIS!In this episode, you will hear:Fear and its role in conventional medicineHow Donna became a detective and advocate for her own health and treatmentThe risks involved with imaging versus the rewardsThe emotional toll this diagnosis takes on womenAnd more!More about Donna:Donna Pinto is originally from New Jersey and moved to Los Angeles at age 12. After graduating from San Diego State University with a BA in Journalism, she had a short-stint in magazine advertising sales before landing her "dream job" with Club Med. For two years Donna worked at resorts in Mexico, The Bahamas, The Dominican Republic, and Colorado. She met her husband Glenn in Ixtapa, Mexico and they embarked on a two year honeymoon around the world. This was also a research project for a book they wrote called When The Travel Bug Bites: Creative Ways to Earn, Save and Stay Abroad. Donna is also the author of a quote book for new graduates -- Cheatnotes on Life: Lessons From The Classroom of Life. In 1997, she settled in San Diego and was blessed to work part-time from home for non-profit organizations while raising her two boys. In 2010, a DCIS diagnosis changed her life. DCIS 411 is the culmination of her on-going journey and discoveries.Donna's websites:DCIS 411: www.DCIS411.comGive Wellness (nonprofit): www.GiveWellness.lifeTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/time-to-talkTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Person's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://realhealthmd.kartra.com/page/SmartPersonsGuidetoBreastCancerJoin the Facebook group: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingabreastwdrjennConnect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

In this episode, Daniel Belkin and Mitch Belkin interview Joann Elmore, MD, about screening mammography. Dr. Elmore shares insights on the USPSTF's new draft mammography recommendations, which lowers the breast cancer screening age from 50 to 40. They discuss the difference in American and European call back rates for biopsy and whether mammography screening programs have substantially improved breast cancer mortality rates or if improvements are primarily due to enhanced treatment methods. They also touch on the potential for AI to transform radiology and pathology.Who is Joann Elmore?Joann G. Elmore is as a professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. Her research interests include diagnostic accuracy, physician variability, cancer screening, patient engagement, and AI/machine learning in diagnostics.

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.23.29655  Shruti Kumar, MD discusses an AJR study that compares the performance of mammography alone, standalone artificial intelligence (AI), ultrasound alone, and a combination of these methods in a sample of 1,325 women. The study suggests that adding AI to mammography and ultrasound does not provide significant benefit in cancer detection rates in patients with dense breasts. However, the study's limitations, including single-institution data and specific AI platform, must be considered before generalizing the results.

In our current culture and climate, we tend to plan for sickness more than we plan for health. This is why we have medical insurance - for when we are sick. But most people are born to be healthy, but we encounter different things throughout life that lead to sickness, even though that is rarely our intent. Today, I have with me Dr. Thomas Lodi, integrative oncologist and clinical psychologist, who worked for many years in conventional medicine before making the realization that the cancer treatments he was studying were killing people, and he couldn't practice like that anymore. It was then that he moved towards functional medicine and getting you back to your best health and self!In this episode, we will discuss:How reframing your lifestyle and choices can impact youWhat psychoneuroimmunology is and how it applies to you and your healthHow negative thoughts can affect your immune systemWhat cancer actually... it's NOT what you've been told!You've gone for treatment… now what?Steps you can take today to reclaim your health And more!More about Dr. Lodi:For the first ten years of his medical career, Dr. Thomas Lodi worked in conventional settings as an internal medicine specialist, urgent care physician, and as an intensivist in ICU and CCU departments of various hospitals. Subsequently, Dr. Lodi continued his search for more effective and less toxic therapies by training around the world from Japan to Europe to Mexico and all around the US.Although he occasionally sees patients with a variety of medical conditions, Dr. Lodi narrowed his scope of practice through specific training and extensive experience over the past 12 years to Integrative Oncology (caring for people with cancer). For the benefit of his patients and in order to remain current in all areas of oncology, Dr. Lodi maintains memberships in both conventional and alternative medical professional associations.He is licensed as a Homeopathic Medical Doctor MD(H) in the State of Arizona and is licensed as an Allopathic Medical Doctor (MD) in the state of New York.Dr Lodi has completed a Fellowship in Integrative Cancer Therapies and a Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Regenerative & Functional Medicine.

Supplemental breast cancer screening is a very timely topic that every radiologist should know about. In this episode, based on my Radiology Review Insider article of the same name available at theradiologyreview.com, I provide an overview of the current supplemental screening landscape. In this episode I highlight current and future technologies for supplemental screening including advanced imaging (contrast-enhanced mammography, molecular breast imaging, breast MRI, breast CT, whole breast ultrasound, elastogrpahy, contrast-enhanced breast ultrasound), artificial intelligence, and ctDNA assays.  I also share my thoughts on current challenges and opportunities pertaining to supplemental breast cancer screening. All content of this podcast episode is my opinion only, and is presented to foster interest and further learning on this important and timely topic. Prepare to succeed!

Pulling Water From Thin Air? It's Materials Science, Not Magic. You've probably seen a magic trick in which a performer makes a playing card, coin, or even a rabbit appear out of thin air. Writing in the journal Nature Communications, researchers at UT Austin describe an experiment where they seem to pull water out of dry air—but it's not magic, and it's not a trick. Carefully applied materials science and engineering allows the team to extract as much as six liters of water per day from one kilogram of their polymer, even in areas with 15% humidity. That's drier than the Sahara Desert. The material itself contains two main ingredients. First, a konjac gum, which can be found in Asian cooking, rapidly absorbs water from the air. (In scientific terms, it's a “hygroscopic material.”) The second ingredient, hydroxypropyl cellulose, responds dramatically to changes in temperature. So at lower temperatures, the team's polymer film absorbs water, but can rapidly release that water when the film is heated by the sun or artificial heating. Dr. Guihua Yu, a professor of materials science and mechanical engineering at UT Austin and one of the authors of the report, joins Ira to talk about the material, its applications, and what challenges remain before it can be put into widespread use. An AI Partnership May Improve Breast Cancer Screenings Reading a mammogram is a specialized skill, and one that takes a lot of training. Even expertly-trained radiologists may miss up to 20% of breast cancers present in mammograms, especially if a patient is younger or has larger, denser breasts. Researchers have been working since the advent of artificial intelligence to find ways to assist radiologists in making more accurate diagnoses. This July, a German research team, publishing in The Lancet Digital Health, found that when AI is used to help sort mammograms into low, uncertain, and high risk categories, a partnership between the radiologist and the algorithm leads to more accurate results. To explain how this result may be translated into real clinical settings, Ira talks to Harvard's Constance Lehman, a longtime researcher in the field of breast imaging. She talks about the promise of AI in breast cancer screening, its limitations, and the work ahead to ensure it actually serves patients. A Smoky Aftertaste: Keeping Wildfires Out Of Your Wine Glass Readers who love wine: It's time to have a serious talk. California, Washington and Oregon are three of our largest wine-producing states. They're also some of the states most prone to wildfires. The West Coast is in the midst of its wildfire season, which makes us wonder: How does smoke impact the wines that come from this region? And what could this mean for those who enjoy a Napa Valley merlot, or an Oregon pinot noir? There's an area of food science research dedicated to answering these questions. Factors like the length of smoke exposure, the chemical composition of that smoke, and the type of wine being created all factor into how the final wine product tastes. The best side of a smoked wine spectrum is a mild campfire flavor. The bad side is burning tires. Joining Ira to talk about how scientists are working to better understand how wildfire smoke impacts wine is Dr. Cole Cerrato, assistant professor of food science at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. Artemis Update: What Will It Take To Make It Back To The Moon? Sixty years ago this week, President John F. Kennedy gave an historic address at Rice University, in which he laid down a challenge to the nation and the world. “But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.” Six decades later, going to space is still hard. This week, a flight of Blue Origin's ‘New Shepard' rocket experienced ‘an anomaly' during a launch, triggering the escape system for the capsule (which, thankfully, was uncrewed.) And the Artemis 1 mission, the first test flight of America's planned return to the moon, is on hold while a leaking fuel line is addressed. Dr. John Blevins, the chief engineer for the Space Launch System, the massive rocket powering the Artemis 1 flight, joins Ira to provide an update on the mission, and why, after 60 years, the trip to the moon still contains so many challenges to be overcome.   This Astrophysicist Holds Star Data In The Palm Of Her Hand When you look into the sky, the space between stars looks empty and void—but it isn't. That's where stars are born. And since astronomers and astrophysicists can't reach these stellar nurseries, they rely on data collected by telescopes to peer into space. But what if you could hold part of the galaxy in their hands? Or peer into an orb and see the birthplace of stars? By combining astrophysics and art, that's exactly what Dr. Nia Imara does. She's a visual artist and assistant professor of astronomy at UC Santa Cruz, based in Santa Cruz, California. Imara talks with Ira about studying stellar nurseries, how she creates stellar nursery spheres, and what she can learn from holding them in her hand. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
