New study on contrast mammography and abbreviated breast MRI for screening

The UW Breast Imaging research team led by Assistant Professor Marissa Lawson, MD (lead author, pictured left) and Professor Janie Lee, MD (senior author, right) recently published a new study in Radiology on the topic of breast cancer screening with contrast-enhanced mammography compared with Abbreviated MRI.

Study results indicated that breast cancer screening performance with abbreviated breast MRI was comparable to standard MRI; however, contrast-enhanced mammography demonstrated performance trade-offs that warrant further evaluation prior to widespread use. Additional details are available on the RSNA website.
