Contrast-Enhanced Mammography
More Imaging Options for Your Patients
Not all patients are alike, so breast imaging shouldn’t be either. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is an emerging breast imaging technique that is useful for the visualization of breast lesions.1 This can be helpful in patients who have dense breast tissue. It combines full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with a dual energy technique while using an iodinated-based contrast media injection.2 A contrast-enhanced mammogram can be completed in a standard mammography suite, allowing for a familiar environment for patients.
Joining Forces with You and Your Patients in Mind
Hologic and Bayer are coming together to provide a coordinated CEM solution that can optimize your workflow and help improve the patient experience. Together we can help streamline installation, coordinate training, and provide comprehensive service offerings that allow for seamless delivery and support.
