CESM contrast mammogram screening for dense breasts
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer kind of breast screening scan that uses a special dye (contrast) to better show breast tissue. It may help people with very dense breasts get clearer screening images.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 40 to 69
- You had a mammogram in the last 24 months that was read as normal (BI-RADS 1 or 2)
- Your last mammogram showed heterogeneously dense or extremely dense breast tissue
- You are already scheduled for a routine screening mammogram
- You have no history of allergy to iodinated contrast dye

This trial tests how well a special type of mammogram (contrast-enhanced mammography) can detect cancer in women with suspicious breast findings. It may help provide a more accurate diagnosis without needing a traditional biopsy right away.
This trial compares two imaging tests—CESM (a contrast-enhanced mammogram) and DBT (3D mammography)—to see which works best for women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve how early breast changes are found in dense breasts.
This study tests whether contrast-enhanced mammography (a special mammogram with a dye injection) can help find breast cancers in women who have had breast cancer before and have dense breasts. You would get this test in addition to your normal screening, and it may offer better detection than ultrasound alone.
This study tests how well a special mammogram with contrast can help assess breast cancer risk in women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve screening planning, especially when standard mammograms are harder to read due to density.
This study tests whether a special type of mammogram, called contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), can better spot additional breast abnormalities that were seen on your MRI. It might help doctors decide on the best next steps without needing more invasive tests.
This study tests whether getting a contrast-enhanced mammogram (CEM) every two years is effective for detecting breast cancer in women who have had breast cancer before. If you qualify, you will receive CEM instead of a standard mammogram to see if it helps find cancer earlier.
