New techniques for mammography screening: advantages and limitations.
Screening mammography is the primary method used for the detection of breast cancer. Computer assisted detection (CAD) systems, magnetic resonance imaging of the breast, and breast lymphoscintigraphy with sentinel lymph node biopsy are three new imaging techniques developed to assist in the detection and evaluation of breast cancer and will be described and discussed.
