Screening and Diagnosis Imagery in Breast Cancer: Classical and Emergent Techniques

Abstract

In light of the limitations of mammography, ultrasound, and breast MRI, some other breast imaging techniques have recently been investigated to reduce false positive rates and raise breast cancer detection including (1) digital breast tomosynthesis, (2) bilateral contrast-enhanced dual-energy digital mammography, (3) ultrasound elastography, (4) abbreviated breast MRI, (5) magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and (6) ductoscopy and duct cytology. The purpose of this review was to examine the advantages and disadvantages of these six different breast cancer imaging techniques.
