Stony Brook Medicine, Department of Radiology, Stony Brook, New York, United States.
Purpose: Contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CEDBT) highlights breast tumors with neo-angiogenesis. A recently proposed CEDBT system with a dual-layer (DL) flat-panel detector enables simultaneous acquisition of high-energy (HE) and low-energy (LE) projection images with a single exposure, which reduces acquisition time and eliminates motion artifacts. However, x-ray scatter degrades image quality and lesion detectability.

- Awareness of "mimics" is vital for professionals to prevent diagnostic errors and ensure children receive the appropriate medical care, highlighting the need to differentiate between actual abuse and conditions caused by non-medical practices.*
