CT scan report
This is from a report of a CT scan as part of a breast cancer study, in NW Mexico.
It seems pretty straightforward, up to this phrase :"Con reforzamiento". I haven't been able to get a handle on it. In context:
ESTUDIO: TOMOGRAFIA AXIAL COMPUTARIZADA TORAX CONTRASTE
…
REPORTE:
EI estudio se efectuó con TOMOGRAFIA MULTICORTE SIEMENS SENSATION 64 con la administración de medio de contraste endovenoso y la adquisición volumétrica con reconstrucciones multiplanares con los siguientes hallazgos;
Se confirma tumor de mama derecha de 6 x 7 cm. ***Con reforzamiento***, gas así como engrosamiento de la piel y retracción de la misma.
Adenomegalias en región axilar derecha de 4 cm.
Las pleuras son delgadas y no hay signos de patología de las mismas.
El parénquima pulmonar no muestra alteraciones, la vascularidad pulmonar es también normal.
…
Any insights into this phrase will be greatly appreciated - Thanks in advance to all.

with enhancement
Contrast enhancement is a ubiquitous term in radiology and can be used in two ways.
Firstly, it may refer to methods of exaggerating the visible difference between adjacent structures on scans by administering contrast agents. This includes differentiating between normal structures. There are many different types, which vary by modality (see the article on contrast agents for further information).
Secondly, contrast enhancement can also refer to characteristics of abnormal lesions in the body. The diffusion of the contrast agents from the bloodstream to bodily tissues is physiologically limited. In pathologies such as cancer, blood vessels grow which are abnormal (i.e. neoangiogenesis) with increased leaking of contrast agent from the blood vessels, results in the lesion being much more visible on contrast-enhanced scans.
