Summary: Introduction: X-rays and MRI play crucial roles in breast cancer screening and diagnosis. CEM uses X-rays to detect breast abnormalities, while MRI provides detailed soft tissue information. These imaging techniques aid in early detection and better treatment outcomes for breast cancer. Aim of the paper: The aim of the paper is to present the technique of contrast mammography and magnetic resonance of the breast individually and to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods in order to enable their comparison. Discussion: CEM offers advantages in breast imaging, including accurate tumor staging, detection of additional lesions, and monitoring treatment response. It is useful in cases of unclear mammography findings and for high-risk women with dense breasts. CEM combines the benefits of mammography with contrast enhancement capabilities. However, it has higher radiation dose and artifacts. Breast MRI provides detailed images, better lesion identification, and assessment of treatment response. It is recommended for high-risk patients and can detect tumors missed by other methods. New techniques like DWI and abbreviated protocols offer additional options. Breast MRI has limitations, including artifacts and cost. CESM is a viable alternative to MRI with high sensitivity and specificity. CEM and MRI have their own advantages and limitations, and further research is needed. Conclusion: Imaging of breast cancer has advanced with techniques such as mammography, CEM and MRI. The combined use of CEM and MRI improves diagnostic accuracy. Standardized reporting systems aid communication and improve patient care. Ongoing advances and standardization further improve these imaging techniques. They are changing breast cancer treatment and improving patient outcomes.
