Breast imaging is a specialized branch of radiology focused on detecting, diagnosing, and monitoring breast-related conditions. Using advanced imaging technologies, breast imaging helps identify abnormalities such as lumps, cysts, calcifications, and early-stage breast cancer—often before physical symptoms develop.
As a vital part of women’s preventive health, breast imaging supports early diagnosis, timely treatment, and improved survival outcomes.
What is Breast Imaging?
Breast imaging includes a range of diagnostic and screening tests designed to evaluate breast tissue. These imaging tools help radiologists:
- Detect early signs of disease
- Investigate breast lumps or changes
- Monitor high-risk patients
- Guide biopsy or minimally invasive procedures
Breast imaging plays a crucial role in confirming whether a breast abnormality is benign or requires further evaluation.Types of Breast Imaging Services
