Objective: The main importance of imaging breast cancer is to guide conservative surgeries. In this study, we evaluated the role of contrast-enhanced spectral mammogram (CESM) in correlation with three-dimensional (3D) breast ultrasound in characterizing the extension of the intramammary cancer in view of the: (i) the size of the main tumor, (ii) the multiplicity of the breast cancer, and (iii) the peri-tumoral stromal involvement (i.e.
