Study Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well contrast enhanced spectral mammography works with digital breast tomosynthesis in imaging patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Contrast enhanced spectral mammography uses a special dye that is injected into the veins before mammogram images are taken. Digital breast tomosynthesis uses multiple x-ray pictures to produce a 3-dimensional rendering of the entire breast. Contrast enhanced spectral mammography with digital breast tomosynthesis may highlight areas of concern within the breast in more detail than a standard mammogram and improve the accuracy of tumor size.

Primary Outcome

Intra-class correlation will be used to assess the agreement of index lesion size from each imaging reading to the gold standard (histopathology at surgery). Bland-Altman plot will be used to illustrate the pattern of difference between each reading and the gold standard.
