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 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.
