A team from Hospital del Mar and the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute has validated the technique involving breast biopsy guided by contrast mammography to visualise suspicious lesions that cannot be observed via ultrasound or mammography. After analysing data from tests performed on 64 women, they have been able to verify that this technique offers the same or better results than the other diagnostic tool used in these cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results have been published in the journal European Radiology. In the cases studied, contrast mammography-guided breast biopsy was successful in 95.4% of cases. In only three tests was the visibility of the findings not as expected. In comparison, MRI has a success rate of between 87% and 98%.

This is the question that Dr. Daniel Guinart, Dr. Víctor Pérez and Dr. Benedikt Amann, researchers from the Neurosciences Research Programme at the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute, attempt to answer in a letter recently published in The Lancet. The role peer reviewers of scientific articles play and the debate on whether their work should be remunerated are the focus of a letter by Dr. Daniel Guinart, Dr. Víctor Pérez and Dr. Benedikt Amann, researchers from the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute's Neurosciences Research Programme (IMIM-Hospital del Mar) that has been published in The Lancet. It is a voluntary task, based on a "code of honour", as the authors put it, but which in recent times has become an exploitative system.
