title: The In's and Out's of Ductography: A Comprehensive Review.
abstract: Nipple discharge is a common clinical problem, which is most frequently benign. However, nipple discharge may be the presenting symptom of an underlying malignancy. Ductography can provide valuable information in identifying the cause of the discharge. As ductography is a relatively low-volume procedure in most practices, many radiologists and trainees often lack familiarity and experience with the procedure. This article is intended to review the indications, technique, relevant ductal anatomy, and potential imaging findings of ductography.
