Systems and methods for confirming tissue specimens removed using contrast-enhanced x-ray imaging

For a biopsy guided by contrast-enhanced x-ray imaging, a breast imaging system may image a patient's breast subsequent to injection of contrast agent to locate a site for biopsy and / or position a biopsy device relative to the site. Once a tissue specimen is removed from the site for diagnostic evaluation, a confirmation that the specimen was removed from an intended area of interest for biopsy is performed using the systems and methods described herein. For example, the breast imaging system and / or a separate specimen imaging system may capture high and low energy images of the specimen, subtract the low energy image from the high energy image to generate a subtracted image of the specimen, and determine, based on the subtracted image, that the contrast agent is present within the specimen to confirm the site from which the specimen was removed is the intended site for biopsy.
