title: [Imaging of breast neoplasms].
abstract: Imaging is crucial in early diagnosis of breast cancer. Mammography is still the most simple and reproducible method, except in dense breast. In these circumstances, ultrasonography may be helpful. Magnetic resonance imaging has some indications such as the diagnosis of local relapses and preoperative staging.
