Computerized tomography (CT) scans Mammograms Uses radio waves and magnets to generate detailed images of the body Use X-rays to examine breast tissue for cancer X-rays take pictures of organs from different angles and computers assemble them into 3-D models. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Uses radioactive tracers to look at the uptake of sugar by cells
