| Abstract: | Advances in breast imaging have revolutionized breast cancer management. Screening mammography remains the "gold standard" for breast cancer detection. Modalities such as digital mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MR imaging play increasingly important roles in breast imaging. Percutaneous needle biopsy provides a faster, less invasive, and less expensive method than surgery for breast diagnosis. SNB provides a less invasive method than axillary dissection for staging the axilla. MR spectroscopy may improve specificity of breast cancer diagnosis. New modalities such as PET, breast tomosynthesis, and contrast-enhanced mammography may also contribute to the breast imaging evaluation. Further work is necessary to refine and evaluate these newer modalities so that women can be offered the most accurate and least invasive techniques for breast cancer diagnosis, staging, monitoring, and treatment. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
