The aim is to determine if prone PC-CT with iodine mapping can effectively differentiate between malignant and benign breast masses.
Conducted a prospective single-center study involving biopsy-proven breast cancer patients.
Utilized prone, compression-free breast positioning for thoracoabdominal PC-CT imaging.
Performed quantitative analysis of iodine concentrations and contrast-to-noise ratios, along with qualitative assessments.
Included MRI and tomosynthesis for anatomic correlation and reader preference evaluations.
Prone PC-CT with iodine mapping accurately localized lesions and differentiated between malignant and benign masses.
Enhanced localization accuracy was achieved without breast compression.
Iodine mapping and postcontrast reconstructions were recommended for optimal assessment.
