The study explores how imaging features from contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) relate to different molecular types of breast cancer.
It involved examining CEM images of 31 patients with confirmed invasive breast cancer to identify links between specific imaging characteristics and molecular subtypes such as luminal A, luminal B, HER2, and basal-like.
Findings showed a notable association between calcifications and HER2 subtype, as well as specific enhancement patterns linked to basal-like and non-basal-like types; however, most other imaging features did not show significant correlations.
