In the area of study, a variety of imaging modalities is implemented to assist with the diagnosis. These imaging modalities includes multi-frequency electrical impedance mammography, ultrasonic investigation, X-ray mammography and puncture biopsy. Various radiographic modalities are used in clinical settings to identify lesions that are suspicious for breast cancer, mammography is still the modality of choice for breast cancer screening. Breast sonogram is limited mainly to the diagnostic follow-up to clarify features of a potential abnormal lesion detected by the mammographic study.
