ABSTRACT
Early detection is of great importance for the successful treatment of breast cancer and for a good prognosis. Contrast-enhanced mammography and especially contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) show promising initial results and are a valuable addition to currently available methods. The advantage of these methods is that imaging of both breasts can be performed in a single examination with a single contrast agent application. The accuracy of CESM is similar to that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), easily available at low costs, which is why this procedure is increasingly used in the diagnostic work up of breast cancer. CESM is also a good alternative to MRI if this cannot be performed due to contraindications.
