At the end of this review, radiologists will be familiar with 1) the common imaging features of variant breast diseases on conventional digital mammography, breast tomosynthesis, contrast-enhanced mammography, contrast-enhanced breast tomosynthesis, and MR images, and histology correlation, 2) the advantage and disadvantage of different contrast-enhanced breast imaging modalities. 

The common features of imaging presentation of variant breast diseases on contrast-enhanced mammography and tomosynthesis, comparison with conventional non-enhanced mammography, tomosynthesis, and MR imaging, and correlation with hitology results. - benign (fibroadenoma, fibrocystic disease, radial scar and tubular adenoma), - malignant (DCIS, invasive lobular carcinoma, and invasive ductal carcinoma), and - premalignant (atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia) breast lesions are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of different contrast-enhanced breast imaging modalities are discussed.  

Contrast-enhanced mammography and tomosynthesis are new-developed diagnostic tools that provide information acquisition including 3D morphology, microcalcification and vascularity of suspicious breast lesion in one modality.
