ScreenPoint Medical returns to the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) Symposium for its 2026 gathering, April 16-19 in Seattle, Washington, USA. For more than 40 years, SBI Symposium represents the largest gathering of breast imaging experts worldwide and elevates the latest developments in breast imaging practice. As the event convenes, challenges for breast imaging practices within the United States continue to shift rapidly:
- Specialist shortages: According to a recent report from Medicus, 79% of practices in the United States report being short-staffed for breast imaging radiologists. With around four breast imaging radiologists per 100,000 women ages 40 and older in the United States, the report cites significant limitations to care access that are only expected to intensify.
- Swelling volumes: New research published in March in The Lancet Oncology suggests that annual new cases of breast cancer around the world could increase from 2.3 million in 2023 to more than 3.5 million by 2050, making breast cancer screening an increasingly urgent part of population health efforts. The Medicus report also finds that 63% of practices face a combined challenge: rising volumes and too few breast imaging radiologists.
