Abstract
Contrast-enhanced MDCT of the breast has been successfully used for assessment of morphological features and characterization of breast lesions, imaging intraductal extension of breast cancer preoperatively, preoperative breast sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping by CT lymphography, assessment of whole-breast vascularity in correlation with ipsilateral breast cancers, evaluation of recurrent breast carcinoma after breast-conserving surgery and assessment of the extent of residual breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy MDCT compared to mammography may be better imaged breast lesions if the breasts are dense or if the lesion is located near the chest wall, MDCT is more sensitive than mammography and sonography in the detection of multicentric or multifocal lesions, which is important for correct surgical planning .The breast is not compressed when using CT, making it a more comfortable procedure for the patient than mammography.
