- Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease among women, causing death and suffering worldwide. It is known that, for the improvement of the survival rate and the psychological impact it has on patients, early detection is crucial. For this to happen, the imaging techniques should be used at their full potential. We selected and examined 44 articles that had as subject the use of a specific imaging method in breast cancer management (mammography, ultrasound, MRI, ultrasound-guided biopsy, PET-CT). After analyzing their data, we summarized and concluded which are the best ways to use each one of the mentioned techniques for a good outcome. We created a simplified algorithm with easy steps that can be followed by radiologists when facing this type of neoplasia.
