Emerging Breast Imaging Technologies on the Horizon

Early detection of breast cancers by mammography in conjunction with adjuvant therapy have contributed to reduction in breast cancer mortality. Mammography remains the 'gold-standard′ for breast cancer screening, but is limited by tissue superposition. Digital breast tomosynthesis and more recently, dedicated breast computed tomography have been developed to alleviate the tissue superposition problem. However, all of these modalities rely upon x-ray attenuation contrast to provide anatomical images and there are ongoing efforts to develop and clinically translate alternative modalities.
