A new article in the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) reports that contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) showed concordance with MRI in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and breast augmentation. Molly Carnahan, MD, and fellow clinicians from Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ,...
Multiple modalities are available in breast radiology, ranging from screening mammography and ultrasound to problem-solving tools including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is an emerging mammographic technique which utilizes conventional low-energy mammographic images and ...

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is an imaging technique that uses iodinated contrast medium to improve visualization of breast lesions and assessment of tumor neovascularity. Through modifications in x-ray energy, high- and low-energy images of the breast are combined to highlight areas of contr...
According to ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) showed concordance with MRI in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and breast augmentation.
Women with a personal history of breast cancer have an increased risk of subsequent breast malignancy and may benefit from more sensitive surveillance than conventional mammography (MG). We previously reported outcomes for first surveillance episode using contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), demonstrating ...
To evaluate the performance of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for estimating residual tumor size after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Methods . The institutional review board approved this study. This ...
Objectives Feasibility studies have shown that contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) increases diagnostic accuracy of mammography. We studied diagnostic accuracy of CESM in patients referred from the breast cancer screening programme, who have a lower disease prevalence than previously published papers...
To prospectively evaluate accuracy of gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) mammography for depiction of synchronous contralateral breast cancer in patients with newly diagnosed unilateral breast cancer or high-risk lesions, with histologic analysis or follow-up as reference. The study ha...
This article reviews research done by the author and collaborators in the general area of subtraction techniques applied to radiological images, in particular in contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM). Main achievements have been the development and phantom validation of a general formalism to sub...
