| Abstract: | For the first time, results of multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) with intravenous contrast enhancement in diagnosis of difficult case of breast tumors are presented. This method permits localization and staging of tumor. Contrast enhancement aids to reveal small tumors (less 1 cm). Thin sections and algorithm of high image resolution permit to diagnose microcalcinates which are early and important symptoms of malignant tumor. Evaluation of state of regional lymph nodes, analysis of bones permits to evaluate generalization of the process. MSCT-mammography may be used as amplifying method in diagnosis of breast diseases. This method is also indicated in atypical location of cancer. Further studies of MSCT-mammography permit to increase diagnostic value of this method. |
