Low-dose Mammography: A procedure which uses the lowest possible dose of X-rays to detect tumors in the breast tissue.
Ultrasound: A painless procedure which uses high-energy sound waves to scan the breast tissue, primarily to detect cysts (fluid –filled sacs). No X-rays are used.
CAD: Second look, computer-assisted diagnosis.

Stereotactic Core Biopsy: A non-surgical removal of sample cells from non-palpable masses (masses that cannot be felt) in the breast tissue.
Cytology of Breast Fluids: A sample of breast discharge is tested for the presence or absence of cancer cells.
