Breast CT
Brief summary
This study is conducted to compare Koning Breast CT (KBCT) to mammography to evaluate if KBCT can improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer. It will also compare contrast-enhanced KBCT (CE-KBCT) to mammography to evaluate if CE-KBCT can further improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer.
Interventions
Contrast-enhanced KBCT includes pre-contrast KBCT scan and post-contrast KBCT scan. After the pre contrast scan is completed, a bolus injection of a low osmolar, nonionic, iodinated 300mg of iodine per mL contrast agent, will be injected at a rate of approximately 2.0 mL/s, for a total injection time of approximately 30-60 seconds. 30-60 seconds after the contrast injection, the post-contrast scan will be acquired.
