Breast density can often obscure lesions on conventional x-ray mammography, and so other screening modalities such as MRI or ultrasound are often recommended for follow-up. CEM is faster and less costly than MRI and can often be used as a follow-up to an abnormal screening mammogram when it is clinically appropriate.
