in patients with menstrual cycles, the test should be performed between days 6 and 16 of said cycle in order to avoid physiological uptakes

breast scans that use computerized images to leave a detailed image of the structure within the breast

Breast exam.

The doctor checks the lymph nodes and both breasts to detect bulges or abnormalities.

Spectroscopy
