Temporal enhancement characteristics of contrast-enhanced mammography

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a functional imaging technique that is becoming increasingly widespread in clinical practice. This advanced mammographic technique utilises dual-energy subtraction mammography in combination with an intravenous iodinated contrast agent to produce two sets of diagnostic mammographic images. The low energy images are equivalent to a standard full field digital mammogram, while the […]
