The value of contrast-enhanced energy-spectrum mammography combined with clinical indicators in detecting breast cancer in Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4 lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Under the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), category 4 lesions have a high probability of malignancy. This study sought to investigate the efficacy of a model that combined the BI-RADS score with the enhancement score and clinical indicators in the diagnosis of BI-RADS 4 lesions based on contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) in breast cancer patients.

Methods

The data of female patients with BI-RADS scores of 4 who underwent CESM at the Department of Medical Imaging of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2018 to July 2023 were retrospectively collected. In total, 170 patients were enrolled in the study. Based on their surgery or puncture pathology results, the patients were divided into malignant and benign gr
