Which advanced breast scan is better for you?
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two advanced breast imaging methods—contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and breast MRI—to see which is better at finding cancer, especially in women with dense breasts or unclear mammogram results. If you are being referred for one of these exams, you may be able to join and help doctors learn which test works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and have breast tissue that can be imaged.
- Your doctor has sent you for a contrast-enhanced mammogram or breast MRI because of a suspicious finding or high risk for breast cancer.
- You have dense breast tissue or had unclear results on a standard mammogram.
- You do not have a pacemaker, severe claustrophobia, or metal implants that can't be removed (for MRI).
- You are not allergic to the contrast dye used in CEM, do not have severe kidney disease, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial uses a special mammogram with contrast dye to look for breast cancer in people who have cancer that started somewhere unknown (called Cancer of Unknown Primary). It may help find if the breast is the source, which could guide treatment.
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 trial compares a special mammogram with dye (CEDM) to MRI for women already diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The goal is to see if CEDM works as well as MRI for planning surgery, potentially offering a faster or easier option.
This trial compares two advanced imaging methods—contrast-enhanced mammography and MRI—to see which is better for detecting breast cancer early in women at high risk. If you are at high risk and have not had breast cancer before, this study could help guide your future screening.
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 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.
