• Affirm Contrast Biopsy software allows targeting and acquisition of tissue samples in lesions identified on prior CEM exams, where a correlate may not be found using tomosynthesis or ultrasound.
• During a contrast enhanced mammogram, following iodine injection, lesions are localized using a scout view and the 15-degree image pairs.
• Patients prefer CEM procedures over bMRI for reasons such as faster procedure time, greater comfort, lower anxiety, and lower noise level.
• Keep contrast exams in the mammography suite resulting in cost savings over using bMRI. Contrast diagnostic exams and biopsy use familiar mammography and biopsy procedures benefiting both providers and patients.
