Since the 1960s, mammography has been the gold standard for breast cancer
screening. Later, new imaging techniques, such as the breast ultrasound and MRI,
further improved breast cancer detection as they enable closer examination of
uncertain findings in a mammogram. Today, these and newly emerging technologies
are used as complementary screening tools, especially for high-risk patients, as this
dramatically improves breast cancer diagnosis accuracy.
