Abstract

A method of scanning breast tissue involves inserting an imaging element into a breast via a carrier inserted into a breast duct. The imaging element may be for example a receiver, a transmitter or a mirror. A signal is transmitted between one imaging element within the breast duct and a second imaging element outside the breast.
