CMIST
CMIST stands for the Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Trial. It is a multicenter trial. It is supported by American College of Radiology, the Breast Cancer Research Fund, and GE Healthcare.
​
The CMIST study seeks to determine if contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) provides more accurate cancer detection compared to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), or 3D mammography, in women with dense breasts.
