Breast imaging is a broad term used to describe the screening, diagnosis, treatment and review of breast disease using medical imaging techniques. This subject builds on practitioner knowledge of 2D mammography and adjunct breast ultrasound as the cornerstones of routine breast imaging and presents advanced theoretical knowledge across the existing modalities of mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound and MRI. It also considers new and emerging technologies including contrast mammography, automated whole breast ultrasound screening, cone beam breast computed tomography, positron emission mammography and molecular imaging, as well as artificial intelligence. Individualised imaging and advanced practitioner roles in breast imaging will be explored.
