Article Abstract
Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a developing modality used for the workup and management of breast cancer. Although diagnostic imaging modalities such as mammography and US have historically been the mainstays of initial breast cancer workup, recent advances in breast MRI have allowed better disease evaluation. However, MRI is not always readily available, can be time consuming, and is contraindicated in certain patients. CEM is an alternative to US and MRI, and it can be used to obtain contrast material-enhanced information and standard mammograms simultaneously. A CEM examination is shorter than that of MRI, and the modalities have similar rates of sensitivity to detect lesions. CEM also costs less than MRI. The authors evaluate clinical uses of CEM and discuss the literature supporting these indications.RSNA, 2019.

The male breast is predisposed to be affected by many of the same pathological processes as the female breast is. The diagnosis of male breast pathologies is generally achievable when clinical evaluation is combined with standard breast imaging methods such as mammography and ultrasound. Magnetic resonance imaging is also a valuable tool in diagnosing the main pathologies affecting the male breast, especially for evaluating pre- and post-surgical treatments and follow-up.

Data Augmentation (DA) is a technique to increase the quantity and diversity of the training data, and by that alleviate overfitting and improve generalisation. However, standard DA produces synthetic data for augmentation with limited diversity. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) may unlock additional information in a dataset by generating synthetic samples having the appearance of real images.

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an uncommon, locally aggressive breast cancer with rapid onset of symptoms and an unfavorable prognosis. Diagnosis remains challenging and is frequently delayed; imaging plays an important role in disease detection and characterization. Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM) combines conventional mammography with a dual energy technique utilizing iodinated contrast, producing a set of recombined images that demonstrate contrast enhancement similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at a fraction of the cost and time.

Background And Purpose: Accurate preoperative staging is essential for guiding surgical planning and optimizing outcomes in early-stage breast cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard but is often limited by cost and availability. This study aimed to prospectively compare the diagnostic performance of full-field digital mammography (FFDM), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), and MRI for tumor detection and size estimation in patients eligible for upfront surgery.
