| Abstract | ||
| Background: When it comes to cancer, breast cancer (BC) is by far the most common type among females worldwide. As a result of a number of circumstances, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, routine breast imaging has been drastically reduced in recent times. It is also important to keep in mind throughout this time frame since a delay in diagnosis of as little as three months can have a significant impact on breast cancer survival rates.Objective: Review of the literature on imaging modalities of breast masses. Methods: We looked for data on Breast Masses and Imaging, in medical journals and databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. However, only the most recent or extensive study was taken into account between July 2000 and February 2021. References from related works were also evaluated by the writers. There were not enough resources to translate documents into languages other than English, hence those documents have been ignored. It was generally agreed that documents such as unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations did not qualify as legitimate scientific study. Conclusion: Functional imaging has been shown to have better diagnostic performance than morphological imaging, allowing for earlier diagnosis and thus ever-more-tailored treatments and screenings for individual patients. | ||
