Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Detection of additional lesions (each classified as benign or suspicious, to allow determination of TP, FP, TN, FN).<br>[Time points for assessment of primary outcome: immediately after the CESM and CEMRI studies have been performed, at time results of any core biopsies of these lesions (within 2-3 weeks of the studies), or at time of definitive surgery with review of pathology (usually within 6-8 weeks of diagnosis), or for those lesions not biopsied or excised, review with imaging follow up one year post diagnosis.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Size of the index malignant lesion(s)[Immediately following the CESM and MRI studies when they are reported by the radiologist.];times taken for the CESM or CEMRI procedure [measured at time of these procedures];times taken by radiologists to read the studies[measured at time radiologist fills in the CRF with the results of their assessment of the CESM or CEMRI examination];Participants will be asked to complete a brief satisfaction survey using a Likert scale and a free text comment [Filled in just after they have had their second of the two tests, which depending on the bookings will be the CESM or the CEMRI examination]
