title: Computed tomography of the breast. A preliminary report.
abstract: Initial studies indicate that computed tomography can detect both benign and malignant breast disease in both fatty and dense, thick breasts. CT may also be capable of diagnosing early cancer or a precancerous lesion in women with dysplastic breasts or patients who have had radiation therapy or surgery, whereas some of these lesions cannot be diagnosed by mammography because the breast is too dense.
