[Abstract] Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. Breast imaging plays an important role in breast cancer diagnosis, choice of treatment, assessment of efficacy and the follow-up monitoring post treatment. In this paper, on the basis of a large number of domestic and foreign literature, the author elaborate the status of the breast imaging methods commonly used (mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, PET-CT and other breast imaging technology) and its clinical application comprehensively and briefly. Combining with their clinical practices, The authors put forward their own views on the development trend of breast imaging and mission in the future.
