Detects abnormal skin temperature changes non-invasively.

Uses infrared thermal imaging to identify vascular changes linked to tumors.

Completely contactless and safe-no compression or radiation involved.

May detect abnormalities years before structural changes appear.

Useful as a supplementary tool, especially in younger women or for frequent screening.

Low - dose X - rays for early detection of lumps and micro calcium deposits.

Fast and widely available screening method recommended annually after age 40.

Useful for detecting suspicious areas even before physical symptoms appear.

Allows comparison with previous mammograms to detect subtle changes.

Often the first imaging test, if a lump or abnormality is suspected.

Layered imaging reduces errors, ideal for dense breasts.

Takes multiple images from different angles to create a detailed 3D view.

Improves detection rates, especially in women with dense breast tissue.

Reduces false positives and the need for unnecessary follow-up scans.

Offers better visualization of overlapping tissues that may hide small tumors.

Differentiates cystic vs. solid lesions and evaluates blood flow.

Safe and radiation-free; often used alongside mammography for better clarity.

Helpful in guiding needle biopsies for accurate tissue sampling.

Doppler adds insight by showing blood supply to suspicious areas-tumors often have more vascularity.

Especially useful in younger women or those with dense breasts.

Maps tissue stiffness to help distinguish benign vs malignant areas.

Non-invasive technique that adds functional data to ultrasound imaging.

Malignant tumors typically appear stiffer than benign growths.

Enhances the accuracy of traditional ultrasound in challenging cases.

Can help avoid unnecessary biopsies by improving lesion characterization.

Molecular breast imaging Detects malignant breast lumps and nodules with 91% sensitivity and 93% specificity.

Uses a small dose of radioactive tracer to highlight abnormal breast cells.

Especially helpful when mammography and ultrasound are inconclusive.

Effective for detecting cancer in dense breast tissue.

Can identify small or hidden tumors not seen on other imaging tests.

Recommended for younger women, dense breasts, or implants.

Uses magnetic fields and contrast dye for highly detailed soft tissue imaging.

Can detect very small or deep-seated tumors missed by other methods.

Ideal for high-risk women, including those with genetic predisposition.

Helpful in planning surgery by showing the full extent of disease.

Combines metabolic and anatomical imaging to detect, stage, and monitor breast cancer with high accuracy.

Identifies both active cancer cells and their exact location in the body.

Crucial for staging advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Helps evaluate treatment response or detect recurrence.

Often used when symptoms persist but other imaging appears normal.
