| خلاصه مقاله | Traditional mammography is the standard screening tool for breast cancer, but it has limitations in detecting tumors in dense breast tissue. To overcome this challenge, new imaging techniques such as optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nanoparticle imaging, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) have been developed. DBT provides a three-dimensional view of the breast and improves the detection of smaller tumors while reducing false-positive results. CEM involves the injection of a contrast agent to enhance the visualization of blood vessels and tumors during mammography. Both molecular ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging utilize radioactively labeled nanoparticles that bind to cancer cells, enabling the acquisition of high-quality, three-dimensional images of the breast cancer area. The integration of radiology and nuclear medicine, combined imaging techniques, such as positron emission mammography (PEM) and breast imaging with microwave (MBI), improve the disease and diagnostic features in breast cancer detection. Ongoing research and development in this field promise substantial improvements in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment outcomes. |
