This retrospective study includes 213 patients who underwent CEM, mammography (MG), and ultrasound (US) between May 2022 and June 2023 at the P.O. 'A. Perrino' Hospital, Brindisi. BPE was categorized into four levels (Minimal, Light, Moderate, and Marked), while breast density was rated according to the ACR BI-RADS (A-D) classification. A statistical analysis was performed to assess the correlation between BPE and breast density, supporting the development of the BPE-CEM Standard Scale (BCSS) to standardize reporting and improve interobserver agreement.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation between breast density and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in CEM. | This outcome assesses whether increased breast density is associated with higher BPE levels and evaluates the statistical significance of the correlation. | Data analysis within 12 months of study completion. |
