Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM)

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is an advanced imaging technique that combines traditional mammography with the use of a contrast agent to provide functional diagnostic information. This method enhances the detection of abnormal lesions, particularly in dense breast tissue, by highlighting areas with increased vascularity, which may indicate breast cancer. CEM provides a comprehensive view, assisting doctors in making accurate diagnoses and facilitating timely treatment.

 

Indication for CEM:

 

  • Enhancing Detection of Breast Cancers
  • Tumor Characterization
  • Monitoring Treatment Response
  • Providing Treatment Guidance
