Alexandra Millet, MD discusses a study that compares imaging characteristics of false-positive and true-positive findings on CEDM. The conclusions include that a low-energy mammographic finding with associated enhancement, or a finding with sonographic or MRI correlate, predicts a true-positive result. Calcifications with associated enhancement had a high malignancy rate. Nonetheless, half of true-positive lesions enhanced on iodine images without a mammographic finding on low-energy images. These observations inform radiologists’ management of abnormalities detected on screening CEDM.
