Dual-Energy Contrast-enhanced Digital Subtraction Mammography: Feasibility
Abstract
A technique for demonstrating breast cancers, dual-energy contrast agent-enhanced digital subtraction mammography, was performed in 26 subjects with mammographic or clinical findings that warranted biopsy. The technique consists of high-energy and low-energy digital mammography after administration of iodinated contrast agent. Weighted subtraction of the logarithmic transform of these images is then performed to obtain an image that preferentially shows iodine. Of the 26 subjects, 13 had invasive cancers. Eleven of these tumors enhanced strongly, one enhanced moderately, and one enhanced weakly. The duct in one patient with ductal carcinoma in situ was weakly enhancing. In the other 12 patients, benign tissue enhanced diffusely in two and weakly focally in two. These results indicate that the technique is feasible and worthy of further study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
