New and exciting breast imaging modalities include digital mammography, positron emission tomography, and sestamibi scintimammography. Digital mammography offers advantages over film-screen mammography in image storage, retrieval, and processing, while positron emission tomography and sestamibi scintimammography may complement conventional methods in cancer staging and treatment monitoring. This article reviews the background, clinical applications, and new advances of these emerging technologies.
