Possibility to discriminate benign from malignant breast lesions detected on dual-layer spectral CT-evaluation

Abstract

Objectives

Intramammary mass lesions are reportedly present in up to 5.8% of all contrast enhanced CT-examinations of the female chest. We aimed to assess whether their biological relevance can be estimated using spectral CT-datasets.

Methods

In this bicentric retrospective study patients with breast masses visualized on spectral CT-examinations from 07/2017 to 06/2019 were included. Lesions were characterized...
