By capitalizing on the extravasation of indocyanine green (ICG) through the wall of tumorous vessels and consequently using late-fluorescence mammograms, we were able to achieve far more pronounced contrast between the tumorous and healthy background tissue (mean contrast value, 0.64) compared with this contrast on images acquired during or shortly after the administration of ICG (mean contrast value, 0.25)

Fellowship training in breast imaging was the only radiologists' characteristic significantly associated with greater sensitivity and higher overall accuracy; however, fellowship-trained radiologists also had significantly higher false-positive rates
