Elastography is a new technology for imaging breast tissue, and it may be better than mammography, ultrasound, and MRI at distinguishing between benign and cancerous areas. Elastograms can find a cancerous lump without the need for a biopsy. If you've ever had a mammogram, you know what the compression feels like - elastography uses light compression, and makes a more accurate image. See a Kitchen Science Demonstration on Elastography.
