Nonmammographic breast imaging techniques. Current status and future developments

Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am. 1987 Sep;14(3):651-65.

Abstract

X-ray mammography (film/screen or Xerox) is the only breast imaging technique with proven efficacy for screening. Ultrasound has a limited diagnostic capability for cyst/solid differentiation. All other modalities should be considered experimental or of no proven benefit for breast evaluation.
