-**Diagnostic mammography is considered as the first step
-**If the last screening test is related to more than 6 months, both breast mammography is required to rule out occult malignancy
-**No further evaluation is needed in case of clearly benign mass in mammography
-**Ultrasound imaging is required for the rest of cases appeared in mammography

-*If the mammographic results become negative,the next step is targeted ultrasound

-**Probably benign results considered as BI-RADS 3, then ultrasound short interval follow-up is needed
-**Suspicious ultrasound results considered as BI-RADS 4 or 5, then core-needle biopsy is needed
