Breast imaging refers to a variety of techniques used to visualize the breast tissue for medical evaluation. The most common methods include mammography, ultrasound, and MRI. These imaging techniques help in the early detection of breast cancer and other abnormalities, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment. Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to create images of the breast, while ultrasound employs sound waves to produce images, often used to further investigate findings from a mammogram. MRI provides detailed images using magnetic fields and radio waves, particularly useful for high-risk patients or complex cases.
