title: [Diagnosis of the site and extent of breast carcinoma].
abstract: The value of X-ray-mammography, ultrasound, and MRI are compared with regard to their results in localization, differential diagnosis, and staging of carcinomas of the breast. For microcalcifications that are only imaged by mammography, X-ray is superior to the other imaging modalities and remains method of choice. Ultrasound is the most useful to differentiate cystic and solid lesions. The value of MRI is not yet proved sufficiently except in conservative and plastic surgery of breast carcinoma.
