The invention relates to the use of intravenous contrast agents for projection mammography and novel devices for carrying out projection mammography. The invention therefore relates to the use of intravenous contrast agents for producing a diagnostic agent for projection mammography. By the additional intravenous administration of a contrast agent, projection mamography attains a sensitivity comparable to the most modern methods, such as magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), while having a wider range of applications and avoiding the cost of MRT. This new method is simple and can be carried out without special impact on patients. It a) considerably improves sensitivity for demonstrating focal lesions in the mammae and b) provides additional information on the character of previously detected lesions.

L'invention concerne l'utilisation de produits de contraste intraveineux pour la mammographie avec projection ainsi que de nouveaux dispositifs pour la mammographie avec projection. L'invention concerne donc l'utilisation de produits de contraste intraveineux pour produire un agent diagnostique pour la mammographie avec projection. Par l'administration supplémentaire de produit 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 présente des usages plus nombreux et évite le coût de la TRM. Le nouveau procédé est simple; on peut le mettre en oeuvre, sans contrainte particulière pour les patientes. Il a) améliore considérablement la sensibilité pour la mise en évidence de lésions dans le sein et b) fournit des informations supplémentaires sur le caractère de lésions détectées auparavant.
