An Imaging Technology, Contrast-Enhanced Mammography, in Predicting Breast Cancer

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Summary

This clinical trial examines a new imaging technology, contrast-enhanced mammography, in predicting breast cancer. Contrast-enhanced mammography is similar to standard mammography, but it includes an intravenous (by vein) injection of iodine-based contrast, which makes tissue and blood vessels more visible in scans. Contrast-enhanced mammography may work better in detecting cancer in the breast that is not seen on other imaging tests and may help doctors find the most suspicious areas of the breast to biopsy, which could increase the chances of finding breast cancer.
