Prone Photon-counting Computed Tomography With Iodine Mapping for Differentiating Breast Masses

Prone PC-CT with iodine mapping enables accurate lesion localization, quantification, and differentiation between malignant and benign breast masses. Compression-free breast positioning enhances localization accuracy. The method may serve as an accessible adjunct to MRI in staging, with complementary use of iodine and postcontrast reconstructions recommended for optimal assessment.
