Figure 4:

Images in 44-year-old woman presenting with palpable abnormality in left breast illustrate that cysts have different appearance at contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and contrast-enhanced breast MRI. A, Recombined CEM image of left breast in mediolateral oblique view. B, Corresponding contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted breast MRI scan reconstructed in sagittal view. On both images, simple cysts (arrowheads) can be identified as well-defined masses showing no or negative enhancement. Inflamed cysts (arrow) may show thickened and often slightly irregular wall, which enhances after contrast material administration.
