| Abstract | ||
| Medical imaging is a process and technique used to create images to the human body or parts and function thereof for clinical purposes, to medical procedures seeking to reveal, diagnose or examine disease or medical science. In this paper we will explain three types of medical imaging techniques; Magnetic resonant Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Ultrasound (US) that are used in the breast cancer detection, then we will compare among them to know which one of this techniques are better to use in the detection of breast cancer by taking in the account all of the sensitivity, resolution, cost and side effect. The results show that superior of MRI against the both of PET and Ultrasound in the sensitivity and resolution, while the disadvantages of MRI techniques was the high cost and time required to get imaging. | ||
