Bayer said Friday the Food and Drug Administration has approved its Ultravist injection to visualize breast lesions as an adjunct to mammographies or ultrasounds.

The pharmaceutical company said Ultravist-300 and -370 gives physicians a new imaging option beyond conventional mammographies.

"The new FDA-approved indication aligns with the recent increased focus on supplemental imaging needs for women at a higher risk for breast cancer," Bayer said.

Ultravist is an injection for intravenous and intra-arterial use.
