Radiodiagnosis of minimal breast cancer

Problem of radiodiagnosis (mammography and ultrasonography) of minimum neoplasms in the case of mammary gland carcinoma (MGC) is discussed. It is shown that the mammography is performed in two projections as a rule: craniocaudal and oblique. Minimum node neoplasms on the background of mammary gland fatty involution which can not be identified by ultrasonography are visualized by mammography mostly reliable. Ultrasonography is preferable in the case of minimum neoplasms diagnosis on the background of fibroadenomatosis. Pneumocystography is performed in the case of suspicion of cancer in cyst although ultrasonography is more effective in this case. Application of special X-ray equipment is lately spread due to stereotaxic computerized bringing of special needles for biopsy
