Some common breast imaging modalities include mammography, ultrasound, MRI, PET, etc. Mammography remains the primary imaging test for breast cancer screening. Digital breast tomosynthesis or 3D mammography is gaining rapid adoption due to its improved detection rates compared to conventional 2D mammography.
The breast imaging market involves diagnostic imaging technologies that are used for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.
