The role of contrast-enhanced spectral mammography in detecting aggressive cancers

Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) is currently the first preference of breast imaging technique, yet breast cancer detection rate on FFDM is affected by different factors including breast density. Breast density in addition to the masking effect has also been established as a factor independently associated with the risk of breast cancer development. The risk of […]

Three-yearly mammographic breast screening was introduced into the UK in the late 1980s using analogue filmscreen. This initially entailed one projection for each breast (medio-lateral); in 2004 a second projection (cranio-caudal) was introduced to improve cancer detection rates. Around 2010 digital technology replaced film and full field digital mammography (FFDM) became prevalent within the UK. […]
