Abstract :
In this survey paper, we explore different medical imaging techniques used in the diagnosis of breast cancer. We compare their effectiveness, advantages, and disadvantages for detecting early-stage breast cancer. We mainly focuse on X-ray mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as they are the primary imaging modalities used in the clinic for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
