CEM - Contrast Enhanced Mammography - anyone heard of it? Supposed to be good for Dense Breasts

I found this in one of my news feeds last week ..... and going by the pics (below the 'normal' Dense Breast Tissue Images) the CEM appears to show the cancer much more specifically in size and shape ..... 

Some people don't like having contrasts/injections - if it gave a clearer picture 'straight up' of your cancer .... would you say 'yes' to CEM?

If you have dense breast tissue - it would be worth checking out the rest of the site too!!

  • Yes this is what  I had last year as my breasts were quite dense.  Felt a bit warm as the iodine goes thru your body.  This new technology found my breast cancer early. I would recommend it.
