This pictorial essay illustrates an overview of the basic technique used in acquiring dual-energy contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) images and its potential clinical applications in regular practice. CEDM may be used as a low-cost alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as a problem-solving tool in clinical practice and for therapeutic planning of breast cancer, which may include high-risk screening, dense breast evaluation, mammographically equivocal lesions, local staging, treatment response evaluation, and post treatment follow-up. We share our experience of CEDM at a tertiary care cancer hospital.
本图文集介绍了在常规实践中获取双能对比增强数字乳腺摄影(CEDM)图像的基本技术及其潜在临床应用。CEDM 可作为磁共振成像(MRI)的低成本替代方法,可作为临床实践中的问题解决工具,用于乳腺癌的治疗计划,包括高危筛查、致密乳腺评估、乳腺影像报告和数据系统(BI-RADS)分类不确定的病变、局部分期、治疗反应评估和治疗后随访。我们分享了在一家三级癌症医院使用 CEDM 的经验。
