[Innovations in breast imaging: multimodal diagnostics in clinical practice]

Breast imaging has undergone major technological advances in recent years. In addition to conventional mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis, several supplemental modalities are currently available, particularly for women with dense breast tissue or increased breast cancer risk. These include automated breast ultrasound, contrast-enhanced mammography, breast MRI and emerging techniques such as dedicated breast CT. This mini-review, based on current evidence and clinical experience, provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented overview of the strengths, limitations and clinical use of these modalities and illustrates the value of a multimodal, risk-adapted diagnostic approach.
