Contrast Enhanced Imaging • Breast MRI – uses Gd contrast agent with MRI •

Contrast Enhanced Imaging • Breast MRI – uses Gd contrast agent with MRI • CE 2 D – uses Iodine contrast agent with mammo • Same basic physiologic principle – Images lesions with higher neovascularity and extracellular leakage of contrast agent • Same basic advantages/disadvantages – High sensitivity for cancer detection – False positives: some benign lesions enhance • Both involve injection • Imaging not affected by breast density

CE 2 D Potential Clinical Applications • Alternative to Breast MRI – Evaluate difficult

CE 2 D Potential Clinical Applications • Alternative to Breast MRI – Evaluate difficult to interpret mammograms 1 – Monitor effectiveness of drug therapy 3 – Identify potential undetected malignancies 1 – High risk screening (not FDA approved) – Patients contraindicated for MRI 2 1 Lewin et al.

Comparison to MRI • Advantages of CE 2 D – Lower cost procedure – Faster procedure (7 -10 min vs 30 -60 min for b. MRI) – Fast readings – Good imaging of microcalcifications (low energy image) • Disadvantages of CE 2 D – Don’t get both breasts at same time – Hard to get time-activity information – Involves radiation, but FFDM usually ordered with b. MRI – Iodine contrast agent adverse reactions Hologic Proprietary and Confidential
