Interventions
Other: Mammography (CESM) and MRI
Registration Number

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) will be able to detect smaller/earlier breast cancers as well as breast MRI can.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Women considered at increased risk for developing breast carcinoma (those with a lifetime risk of >15%due to family history, genetic predisposition, prior radiation therapy to the chest, prior biopsy showing a high risk lesion, or personal history of breast cancer) that are being screened with breast MRI.
  • Women who have a screening digital mammogram on the day of CESM or within 365 days prior

pts at risk for breast cancerMammography (CESM) and MRIWomen at increased risk for breast cancer who are being referred for screening MRI will be offered and consented for CESM at the same time. The 2 examinations will be performed on the same day when at all possible and if not we will make every attempt to perform CESM before MRI. Patients with outside MRI performed within 30 days and of adequate quality will also be eligible for CESM.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
compare the sensitivity and specificity CESM1 year

CESM to that of breast MRI in a population of women who are being screened because they are at increased risk for developing breast cancer. For this purpose a positive CESM test will be defined as a score of 4 or 5. We will use the existing MRI BIRADS system to score CESM images based on the characteristics of individual lesions and increased enhancement compared to the background. A positive MRI test will be defined by a BIRADs score of 4 or 5.
