Which modality is better for breast cancer diagnosis, contrast-enhanced mammography or dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI? Ultrasound offers another screening tool and can overcome some of mammography's limitations. Dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI has been available since 1984, while CEM was introduced in 2011.
