Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the diagnostic effectiveness of contrast-enhanced dual-energy spectral mammography (CESM) against full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and FFDM combined with breast ultrasound (BUS) in a large sample of 644 breast lesions.
- Five radiologists evaluated lesion detection using the three imaging methods and compared their findings to the ultimate standard of histopathology or clinical follow-up, revealing that CESM improved sensitivity and specificity significantly compared to FFDM and FFDM+BUS.
- The findings suggest that CESM is not only highly accurate in diagnosing breast lesions but also effectively measures tumor sizes, although it may slightly overestimate them, marking it as a valuable technique in breast imaging.
