Abstract

Breast cancer is the primary malignant tumor that endangers women’s health. The incidence of breast cancer is increasing rapidly in recent years. Accurate disease evaluation before treatment is the key to the selection of treatment options. Biomedical imaging technology plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis and staging of tumors. Various imaging methods can provide excellent temporal and spatial resolution from multiple levels and perspectives and have become one of the most commonly used means of breast cancer early detection. With the development of radiomics, it has been found that early imaging diagnosis of breast cancer plays an important guiding role in clinical decision-making. The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of various breast cancer imaging technologies, promote the development of individualized accurate diagnosis and treatment of imaging, and improve the clinical application value of radiomics in the early diagnosis of breast cancer.
