RESUMO
In the last several decades, breast imaging has undergone transformation. Technological advances in mammography and ultrasound and the development and increased availability of imaging modalities used in supplemental screening and diagnostic settings, including tomosynthesis and breast MRI, have allowed for improved breast cancer detection and diagnosis. Image-guided core breast biopsies have largely replaced fine needle aspirations. This article discusses the current status of breast imaging in the screening and diagnostic settings and is intended to inform the referring physician of why and how common studies and procedures are performed in the breast imaging clinic.
