Use of Contrast Mammography in The Diagnosis of Breast Cancer. Our Experience and Literature Review
Keywords:
Mammography, Breast neoplasms, Contrast mediaAbstract
Mammography as a screening method has been shown to reduce mortality by early detection of breast cancer; however, in very dense breasts it is difficult to detect, so new methods of screening and diagnosis have been devised. Contrast enhanced spectral contrast mammography (CESM) is one of these methods that, with the use of contrast medium, facilitates the detection of suspicious lesions. We will briefly discuss the CESM technique and history, review its comparison with conventional mammography, and with a series of cases we will discuss its indications, advantages and disadvantages.
