Objective: to study the technique of contrast-enhanced mammography (CESM) and to make a comparative analysis of the accuracy of CESM and MRI in dense breasts. Materials and methods. Was analyzed data of the world researches dedicated comparative characteristics of contrast-enhanced mammography (CESM) and MRI. The MRI and contrast-enhanced mammography (CESM) were performed 61 patients in our center from 04.2017 to 05.2017. The sensitivity and specificity of the methods were evaluated, these data were compared with the results of published studies. Results. Contrast mammography (CESM) is a highly sensitive and specific technique in detecting cancer in dense breasts, comparable in informativeness of contrastenhanced MRI. The sensitivity of CESM and MRI was 100%, the specificity was 100% and 94% respectively. Conclusion. Contrast mammography (CESM) is a perspective techique for earlier diagnosis of breast carcinomas, even with dense breasts.
