The invention relates to the use of intravenous contrast media for projection mammography as well as new devices for projection mammography. The invention therefore relates to the use of intravenous contrast media for the production of a diagnostic agent for projection mammography. Through the additional intravenous administration of contrast media, projection mammography achieves a sensitivity that is comparable to that of the most modern processes such as magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) while being considerably more versatile and avoiding the costs of MRT. The new process can be implemented simply and without special stress on the patients and provides a significant improvement in a) sensitivity to the detection of focal lesions in the breast, and b) additional information on the nature of lesions detected previously.

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'agents de contraste intraveineux pour la mammographie avec projection, ainsi que de nouveaux dispositifs pour ce type de mammographie. L'invention concerne donc l'utilisation d'agents de contraste intraveineux pour produire un agent diagnostique pour la mammographie avec projection. Par l'administration supplémentaire d'agent de contraste en intraveineuse, la mammographie avec projection atteint une sensibilité comparable aux procédés les plus modernes comme la tomographie par résonance magnétique (TRM), mais se prête à des usages plus nombreux et évite le coût de la TRM. Le nouveau procédé est simple; on peut l'exécuter sans contrainte particulière pour les patientes. Il a) améliore considérablement la sensibilité pour la mise en évidence de lésions focales dans le sein et b) fournit des informations supplémentaires sur le caractère de lésions détectées auparavant.
