Abstract

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