Computed tomography of the breast. Abnormal findings with mammographic and sonographic correlation

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2003 Sep-Oct;27(5):761-70. doi: 10.1097/00004728-200309000-00014.

Abstract

Although computed tomography (CT) is not the primary method of evaluating breast lesions, we have occasionally found breast abnormalities on CT. We retrospectively reviewed the CT findings of patients who also underwent mammography and/or ultrasonography at the same time and found that CT showed many interesting benign and malignant breast conditions. Also, some breast lesions were better visualized by CT than by mammography.
