Study of Dual-energy (DE) Contrast-enhanced (CE) Digital Mammography

August 30, 2019 updated by: Rachael Lancaster, MD, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Pilot Study of Dual-energy (DE) Contrast-enhanced (CE) Digital Mammography to Detect Breast Cancer in Patients With Increased Breast Density (Breast Imaging-Reporting And Data System (BI-RADS) Category c or d)

This is a feasibility study to evaluate dual-energy (DE) contrast-enhanced (CE) digital mammography to detect breast cancer in patients with increased breast density (BI-RADS category c or d). Eligible patients will be invited to have full-field digital mammography and dual-energy (DE) contrast-enhanced (CE) digital mammography to compare accuracy of the imaging methods for the detection of breast cancer.
