Role of low dose state of multislice CT mammography in the evaluation of postoperative and post-radiation changes

Detection of recurrence of breast cancer after conserving breast surgery and radiotherapy still represents a challenge because of changes in breast tissue after treatment. The aim was to assess the value of Multislice CT mammography in the detection of recurrent breast cancer in patients with previous conservative surgery and radiotherapy. Subject and Methods: The study included 126 consecutive patients with breast cancer treated with conservative surgery and radiotherapy. CTM scans were evaluated by morphological and dynamic characteristics. CTM diagnosis was compared with histology results. Results: MD-CTM findings were compared with histology in 126 patients. CT mammography (CTM) showed 80% sensitivity, 99% specificity, 97% positive predictive value and 92% negative predictive value for detection of recurrence on the surgical.
