Galactography: Galactography is considered a useful procedure in the early diagnosis of patients with pathologic nipple discharge.[1]
Xeromammography: Radiation exposure is an important factor in risk assessment since it makes up 98% of the effective dose. Currently, the mean value of the absorbed dose in the glandular tissue is used as a description of radiation risk since the glandular tissue is the most vulnerable part of the breast.[2]
Scintimammography: Research has also shown that Tc-99 Sestamibi wash out rate is a reliable test for predicting tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer.[3]
Ultrasound: Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) Imaging has also been researched and shows similar sensitivity to MRI in detecting breast cancer across lesions of similar size. Additionally, the combined use of MRI and CEUS in lesions > 20 mm has been shown to optimize the diagnostic specificity and accuracy in breast cancer prediction. [4]
MRI: MRI Is also shown to be more accurate than mammography, ultrasound, or clinical exam in evaluating treatment response to neoadjuvant therapy.[5]
Mammography: Digital breast tomosynthesis is associated with a higher detection of poor prognosis cancers compared to digital mammography.
