Abstract

Breast imaging in the UK is currently undergoing a major change, with the widespread implementation of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) equipment. This article looks at some of the advanced imaging techniques that have become possible following the development of FFDM units. These techniques may prove to be useful additions to standard mammography for some groups of women.
