Purpose: to study the possibilities of contrast enhanced dual-energy spectral mammography (CESM) in the diagnostics of malignant tumors in the breast.Material and methods. Forty-seven patients with suspicious for breast cancer (BC) lesions underwent CESM. Digital mammography (MMG) and post-contrast images were correlated with the results of path morphological studies after surgery or puncture biopsy was performed.Results. Sensitivity, specificity and overall accuracy in the diagnostics of breast cancer were 83.3%, 85.7%, 85.1% for digital mammography and 91.6%, 91.4%, 91.4% for CESM, respectively. The positive predictive value was 66.6% for digital MMG and 78.5% for CESM. The negative predictive value (NPV) was 96.9% for the CESM and exceeded NPV of the digital MMG, which was 93.7%.Conclusion. Thus, these findings suggest that CESM is an effective method for the diagnostics of malignant tumors in the breast.
