Research Progresses on Quantitative Method of Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography
Contrast enhancement spectral mammography(CESM)is the use of dual-energy subtraction and contrast enhancement techniques on the basis of traditional mammography to display breast calcification,glandular structure,and intrafocal blood supply.Compared to mammography,quantification method of CESM is emerging as an objective and accurate to diagnose abnormal breasts,to distinguish molecular subtypes of breast cancer and to evaluate response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.At present,there are many measurement schemes for quantitative methods,and there is no unified standard guide.This paper reviewed the clinical application and research status of CESM quantitative method,aiming to explore the advantages and disadvantages of different computational schemes and provide quantitative basis for clinical diagnosis and prognosis.
