Jordana Phillips MD
Site Creator and Contributor
Dr. Phillips is a Breast Radiologist and Associate Professor of Radiology at Boston Medical Center in Boston, MA. She has focused her work primarily in the area of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM). She has multiple industry and foundation funded prospective trials studying CEM’s role for breast cancer screening, evaluating its diagnostic performance and the relative cost assessment of the exam compared with other common breast imaging exams. She was invited to participate in the ACR’s effort to develop a formal lexicon for CEM for the Breast Imaging and Reporting Database System (BI-RADS) and also co-lead the ACR’s larger effort to develop a national Breast Imaging research registry to include demographic data, imaging data as well as the actual images, pathology data and samples, and follow-up data. She is spearheading multiple retrospective studies evaluating CEM’s performance in the clinical setting to better understand its value and to refine the technical protocol. In addition, Dr. Phillips has shown a significant interest in education and mentorship through her roles as residency and fellowship director at BIDMC. She has also helped develop multiple local and regional conferences geared toward educating residents and fellows and establishing community. In 2019, Dr. Phillips was awarded fellowship in the Society of Breast Imaging.
