Ikonopedia, a leader in breast imaging reporting and tracking systems, announced the addition of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) to its integrated reporting platform. This expansion enables breast imaging centres to offer patients a powerful diagnostic alternative that improves cancer detection, particularly in women with dense breast tissue.

Dr Tish Singer, founder of Shero Imaging and board-certified diagnostic radiologist, emphasises the technology's potential: "Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM) is a true game changer, a technology that should be more widely available and adopted by all breast imaging centres."

CEM combines standard digital mammography with intravenous contrast to highlight areas of increased blood flow often associated with tumours. By incorporating CEM tracking and analytics, Ikonopedia delivers radiologists and breast imaging centres greater consistency in documentation and patient follow-through across all imaging modalities.

"CEM offers radiology practices more options for their patients, especially those who are claustrophobic or unable to undergo MRI due to implanted devices or other contraindications," said Emily Crane, CEO of Ikonopedia.

"CEM also enhances cancer detection in dense breast tissue, where traditional mammography may miss subtle findings. By including CEM in our solution, we're delivering a win-win for patients and breast care clinics."
