Abstract:
Breast conservation, where appropriate, offers effective treatment for breast cancer while preserving the breast. The increased use of mammographic screening has led to increased detection of small, curable breast cancers that are amenable to breast-conserving surgery. Mammography and other imaging modalities, such as sonography and MRI, assist in the determination of the appropriateness of breast conservation and in the differentiation of recurrence from benign sequelae of treatment.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
