Figures

Dr Habib Rahbar is professor of radiology at the University of Washington and is vice chair of clinical operations. His primary research focus is use of breast MRI to detect and characterize ductal carcinoma in situ. He is a National Institutes of Health–funded principal investigator, a fellow of the Society of Breast Imaging, and co-chair of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group–American College of Radiology Imaging Network Radiomics Working Group.

Dr Brian N. Dontchos is an associate professor of radiology at the University of Washington and the clinical director of breast imaging at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. He is also the director of patient access and clinical efficiency for the Department of Radiology. His operational interests focus on implementation of same-day breast biopsies and immediate-read screening mammography, both of which have mitigated disparities in time to breast cancer diagnosis.
