    Accurate assessment of Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC) involvement is crucial for planning breast cancer surgeries.

  • 2

    Breast MRI is the most accurate imaging modality for preoperative locoregional staging in breast cancer.

  • 3

    Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a viable alternative to MRI, especially for older patients or those with MRI contraindications.

  • 4

    This study aims to compare the diagnostic performance of CEM and MRI in assessing NAC involvement in breast cancer.

  • 5

    The study included 195 women who underwent either CEM or MRI for preoperative assessment of breast cancer.
