Contrast-enhanced FFDM may have edge over breast MRI

By Kate Madden Yee

Dual-energy contrast-enhanced full-field digital mammography (FFDM) finds additional cancers in the breast with better specificity than MRI, according to a new study published online in Radiology. The findings suggest that contrast mammography could be a feasible alternative to more expensive breast MRI scans.
