Popis: Breast cancer will be easier and more effective to treat if detected early. Breast cancer is assessed and detected using imaging as a primary approach. The capacity to diagnose breast cancers is continually improving thanks to developments in imaging technologies. However, some of these enhancements have been linked to delays in the initiation of treatment procedures of breast cancer. Overall, cancer management relies heavily on imaging procedures such as screening and symptomatic disease management. Mammography, which is considered the gold standard, and breast ultrasonography are employed as routine imaging modalities. Previous research has shown that, despite recent developments, no single imaging modality can detect and characterizing majority of breast lesions. Various imaging methods and their uses in diagnosing and caring the breast cancer are discussed in this study.
