Minority women with less education and income have lower access to 3D mammography
Women of minority races and ethnicities and with less education and income have had relatively lower access to 3D mammography, a technology that can improve breast cancer detection and decrease false alarms, according to research published today.
This study was about whether adoption of this technology is equitable. We re showing that it has not been, even though it has been FDA-approved for a decade now. Black and Hispanic women, and less-educated and lower-income women have not been able to obtain 3D mammography as easily as white, well-educated, and higher-income women.

As The Christian Post previously reported, five people were “arrested on vandalism charges for knocking over the Serra statue, leaving only the feet attached to the base.”
Washington [US], February 19 (ANI): The gut microbiome is an integral component of the body, but its importance in the human aging process is unclear. A team of researchers and their collaborators have identified distinct signatures in the gut microbiome that are associated with either healthy or unhealthy aging trajectories, which in turn predict survival in a population of older individuals.

This study was about whether adoption of this technology is equitable. We re showing that it has not been, even though it has been FDA-approved for a decade now, said Dr. Christoph Lee, professor of radiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Black and Hispanic women, and less-educated and lower-income women have not been able to obtain 3D mammography as easily as white, well-educated, and higher-income women.
