a and b Postmenopausal woman 55 yo at intermediate risk for breast cancer with small, heterogeneously dense breasts and intense contrast uptake corresponding to a 15 mm lesion in the upper-inner quadrant which was proven to be a high grade invasive lobular carcinoma: a RCC and RMLO DES CEM views obtained by the STD algorithm showing a marked breast-in-breast artifact and an intense contrast uptake; b RCC and RMLO DES CEM views obtained by the NEW algorithm without artifacts and with the same contrast uptake. c and d Postmenopausal woman 62 yo woman at intermediate risk for breast cancer with small, heterogeneously dense breasts, showing a tiny contrast uptake corresponding to a 7 mm round lesion behind the nipple: c LCC and LMLO DES CEM views obtained by the STD algorithm, with the breast-in-breast artifact partially overlapped to the lesion; d LCC and LMLO DES CEM views obtained by the NEW algorithm, where the artifact is eliminated while the lesion is more easily detectable
