• A total of 11 CE-CBBCT features were associated with molecular subtypes, some of which also helped to differentiate IHC receptor status. • Tumor size, irregular mass shape, spiculation, and internal enhancement pattern could help identify luminal subtype. • Lesion type, calcification, and ΔHU could be significant indicators of HER-2- enriched versus triple-negative breast cancers.
