Breast cancer is the most common in women and represents the second leading cause of death. Prevention through screening programs is essential. Imaging of this tumor has evolved in recent years. In mammography, digital techniques have been incorporated, ultrasound machines are of better quality and magnetic resonance imaging has acquired greater prominence among all diagnostic algorithms, however, mammography continues to represent the test of choice for the detection of this type of neoplasia in the general population. The aim of this article is to describe the important imaging aspects that contribute to the diagnosis of breast cancer, for this, a review of the literature was carried out in different databases with the descriptor of imaging studies in breast cancer.
