The detection and biopsy of Breast diseases: role of imaging.
J Dow Uni Health Sci Jan ;1(1):41-5.

Advances in the imaging of breast have paralleled the increased detection of carcinoma breast. Although mammography remains the gold standard with a phenomenal backup by ultrasound; the natural architectural variations along with the discomfort of compression and intrinsic radiation hazard led to a quest for further avenues. This article is a commentary regarding the trend changes in the conventional film-screen mammography reporting; its variations with digital, radio-nuclear, magnetic resonance (MR) and CT laser (CTLM) techniques and the breast ultrasound complemented by Doppler and image guided biopsy systems. Current uses, limitations and potentials are discussed.
