Breast Imaging Radiology

Breast imaging radiology is a specialized area of medical imaging focused on examining breast tissue to detect and diagnose conditions like breast cancer. It typically includes techniques such as mammography, which uses low-energy X-rays to create images of the breast, and ultrasound or MRI for further evaluation. These imaging methods help identify abnormalities that may not be palpable during a physical exam. Early detection through breast imaging can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates, making it an essential tool in women's health care.
