Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography

Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is an advanced breast imaging technique that uses a special dye and X-ray technology to detect abnormalities. A contrast agent, injected into the bloodstream, highlights areas with increased blood flow, which can indicate tumors or other issues. The mammogram then captures detailed images, showing both the breast tissue and the areas where the contrast accumulates. This helps doctors identify potential cancers more accurately than standard mammograms, especially in dense breast tissue. CESM combines safety with enhanced visualization, aiding in earlier and more precise diagnosis.
