Overview
Mammography can be used in breast abscess diagnosis besides the US as it helps in differentiating between the breast abscess and cancer.
Other diagnostic studies
Mammography is not indicated to be used in diagnosis of the breast abscess. However, it is strongly recommended in these cases to be used to differentiate between the breast abscess and other breast diseases and cancer.[1]
