Breast MRI or ultrasound
This non-invasive imaging offers a more detailed perspective of breast structure and tissue, particularly in high-risk individuals or women with dense breast tissue. While both imaging methods offer a comprehensive breast tissue overview, ultrasounds prove most beneficial for younger women, primarily due to their increased breast density.
