Abstract：Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women,with diverse subtypes and treatment options,making early diagnosis and classification critical.Dual-energy CT(DECT)enhances material differentiation by utilizing two distinct X-ray energy levels.The iodine density maps generated through post-processing provide clear visualization of breast cancer lesions and the extent of internal duct expansion.Additionally,DECT yields multiple parameters that aid in molecular typing,as well as in predicting metastasis,prognosis,and treatment efficacy for breast cancer.This article reviews the application and research progress of DECT in breast cancer.
