NCIt definition : A technique that uses high-energy and low-energy digital mammography with administration
of an iodinated contrast agent. The differences between X-ray attenuation of iodine
and breast tissues at these two energy levels are used to suppress the background
breast tissue. This technique is useful in identifying lesions in dense breasts that
are not visible using standard mammography.;
