Comprehensive analyses with radiological and biological markers of breast cancer on contrast-enhanced chest CT: a single center experience using dual-layer spectral detector CT

ConclusionsVMI40DE may be useful in the diagnosis of breast cancers due to higher tumor conspicuity and better enhancement than VMI40ART. VMI40ART may be beneficial for the prediction of poor breast cancer prognoses.Key Points•VMI40 improved conspicuity of breast cancer than CI.•VMI40DEyielded higher diagnostic performance of breast cancer than VMI40ART.•VMI40ARThas an additional benefit in terms of prognosis prediction in patients with breast cancers.
