| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Aim of the study is to assess the diagnostic performance of imaging obtained with new imaging methods represented by digital mammography (2D) with contrast medium (mdc) - DUAL ENERGY CONTRAST ENHANCED DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY - and Tomosynthesis (3D), in comparison of traditional 2D mammography and MRI with contrast medium (gold standard), in the follow-up of women operated for breast cancer, in order to assess the best diagnostic accuracy in the detection of recurrence.;Secondary Objective: To standardize the examination protocol of Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography with the drafting of new guidelines;Primary end point(s): 1) Superiority of CEDM and combination of CEDM and 3D compared to 2D digital mammography traditional and synthesized. Standards of truth is the result of the histo-pathological examination. 2) Non-inferiority of the combination compared to CEDM and 3D contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). Standards of truth is the result of the histo-pathological examination. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: every 12 months | — |

| Secondary end point(s): Success in the detection of ipsilateral and/or contralateral recurrences with CEDM, 3D/2D, DCE-MRI in order to assess the performance in terms of sensitivity and positive predictive value for the different proposed strategies. Standards of truth is the result of the histo-pathological examination.; Evaluation of the incremental effectiveness of the various proposed strategies.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: every 12 months; every 12 months | — |
