Summary
This study details complementary mammography techniques, including xeromammography, cystography, galactography, and digital mammography. It presents a decision-making guide for clinical mammography, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Mammography and echography techniques were previously described.
- This paper focuses on complementary methods used in mammography.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe complementary diagnostic techniques in mammography.
- To present a "decisional way" for clinical mammography.
Main Methods:
- The study reviews techniques such as xeromammography, cystography, galactography, surgical sample radiography, digital mammography, and RM imaging.
- Most complementary techniques are performed on the same day as the initial mammogram.
- Surgical sample radiography and loading techniques may be performed at a later time.
Main Results:
- Details of various complementary mammographic techniques are provided.
- A structured approach for clinical mammography decisions is proposed.
Conclusions:
- Complementary techniques significantly enhance mammographic diagnosis.
- The proposed "decisional way" aids clinicians in selecting appropriate imaging methods.
