ABSTRACT
Breast imaging is an integral part of breast cancer management. Many imaging modalities are available in assisting clinicians in the screening and detection of breast cancer. These can be broadly grouped under three categories: X-ray-based breast imaging, magnetic-field-based breast imaging, and ultrasound wave-based breast imaging. Mammography is the most used X ray-based breast imaging. This chapter provides an overview of various imaging modalities with emphasis on mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. Their uses in pre-and post-treatment settings, along with their advantages and disadvantages are presented from an Indonesian perspective.
