The Future of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2018
The purpose of this article is to discuss facilitators of and barriers to future implementation of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) in the United States.CEM provides low-energy 2D mammographic images analogous to digital mammography and contrast-enhanced recombined images that allow assessment of neovascularity similar to that offered by MRI.

Dual-energy contrast-enhanced mammography

Radiología (English Edition), 2014
The degree of vascularization in breast lesions is related to their malignancy. For this reason, functional diagnostic imaging techniques have become important in recent years. Dual-energy contrast-enhanced mammography is a new, apparently promising technique in breast cancer that provides information about the degree of vascularization of the lesion ...

Contrast-enhanced digital mammography

European Journal of Radiology, 2009
CEDM is a recent development of digital mammography using the intra-venous injection of an iodinated contrast agent in conjunction with a mammography examination. Two techniques have been developed to perform CEDM examinations: the temporal subtraction technique with acquisition of high-energy images before and after contrast medium injection and the ...

Review of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography

Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology, 2022
Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a new breast imaging technique. CEM provides morphologic (mammography) and functional information obtained after the injection of iodinated contrast material. We review the basics and state-of-the-art CEM, highlighting the potential challenges to implement CEM in a breast imaging department.

Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2014
Mammography is the only technology documented to reduce breast cancer mortality. Its sensitivity, however, is 75% to 80% at best and reduced to 30% to 50% in women with dense breasts. MR imaging is a sensitive modality for the detection of breast cancer but cannot be used in all patients.

Evaluation of contrast-enhanced digital mammography

European Journal of Radiology, 2011
The goal of this prospective study was to evaluate the possible diagnostic benefits of contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) over conventional mammography.Our analysis included data from 70 patients with a total of 80 lesions (30 malignant and 50 benign).

Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography: A Review

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2018
Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) provides low-energy 2D mammographic images comparable to standard digital mammography and a post-contrast recombined image to assess tumor neovascularity similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The utilization of CESM in the United States is currently low but could increase rapidly given many potential

Robust Contrast Enhancement for Microcalcification in Mammography

2004
Microcalcification is important for early breast cancer detection. But due to the low contrast of microcalcifications and same properties as noise, it is difficult to detect microcalcification. In this paper, we propose a robust contrast enhancement method for microcalcification.

[Contrast-enhanced mammography].

Der Radiologe, 2021
Early detection is of great importance for the successful treatment of breast cancer and for a good prognosis. Contrast-enhanced mammography and especially contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) show promising initial results and are a valuable addition to currently available methods.

A History of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography

2019
The path from conception to clinical adoption of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) spans several decades and is built on advances in both technology and X-ray physics. While contrast imaging of the breast had been proposed and, to some extent, demonstrated almost 20 years before the development of full-field digital mammography units, it was the ...
