What methods are used to detect breast cancer in US hospitals?

Compiled some information about 7 ways to detect breast cancer spread imaging.

1 Chest X-ray

Used to check if the cancer has metastasized to the lungs

2 Mammogram

No mammogram has been done, and a complementary X-ray may be done to check inside the breast. It is used to check if it contains any other abnormal areas.

3 Bone scan

Checks to see if the cancer has metastasized to the bones, shows all the bones in the body, and finds small metastases that cannot be seen on a regular X-ray.

4 Magnetic **** vibration imaging (MRI)

MRI scans are used to look for cancer that has metastasized to other parts of the body, and can help to find information about cancer in the brain and spinal cord

5 Ultrasound technology

Using this technology it is possible to look at the breasts and look for metastases of tumors in other parts of the body, and ultrasound of the abdomen can be used to check for tumors in the liver or tumors in other abdominal organs.

6 Computed tomography (CT)

The most common method of examining the chest and abdomen to determine if a tumor has metastasized to other internal organs. Using a CT scan allows the biopsy needle to be precisely guided into the area where the metastasis can be and a sample biopsy can be done.

7 Positron emission tomography (PET)

It is less useful for reoccurring breast cancers, but is good for detecting large tumors such as inflammatory breast cancers and breast cancers that have metastasized.
