Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography(CEDM) vs Contrast-Enhanced Breast MRI(CE-MRI) in Breast Cancer

Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) vs Contrast-Enhanced Breast MRI (CE-MRI) in Patients With Known Breast Cancer

The primary objective is to determine how accurately one can estimate the size of the index tumor on preoperative imaging in patients with known breast cancer, using pathology as a reference standard. The primary endpoint, which will be measured on CEDM,and CE-MRI, is the maximum diameter (mm) of the index tumor.
