Abstract
Digital mammography has more or less replaced conventional full-field digital mammography. Nevertheless, breast density still remains a concern with possible summation and obscuration of underlying cancers. Digital mammography offers advanced application such as trauma synthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography. Both of these are promising for improved cancer detection that would otherwise be obscured by dense breast tissue. Contrast-enhanced digital mammography is a promising new technology that can combine anatomic and physiologic information at the same time. Similar to magnetic resonance imaging, it uses contrast to delineate neovascularity that is associated with malignancy. The contrast used is iodinated contrast, a familiar contrast agent in most radiology departments.
