The importance of the female breast for the survival of man, fertility and healthy growth of the neonatal was an axiom known since the beginning of human evolution. Since antiquity it was a symbol of divine power, connected to primary female goddesses, a symbol of a suitable mother or wet nurse, connected to a robust nutrition in the early stages of life. A series of pathological entities of the human breast were known, including breast cancer. Medical breast imaging begun in ancient Greece through art with sculptures and anthems, which in some cases evolved medical sculptures from medicophilosophical schools of Asia Minor. Physicians of the Hellenic world, millennia ago, had recognized a cluster of deformities of the breast, with the most common being asymmetry, an abnormality with a broad differential diagnosis, including tumors, cysts, or congenital etiology. The most known example is the little clay sculpture from Hellenistic time, which depicts a female torso with a bigger and longer left breast. One of the most common cases of breast cancer in ancient Greek art is the little clay sculpture of Imperial times, depicting a female torso with atrophic breasts and a right breast smaller and in higher position than the left breast. Breast imaging had later passed to medical atlases since Middle ages and during Renaissance and gradually male breasts attracted medical interest too. The origins of modern breast imaging as we interpret it today was the discovery of x-rays by the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen. This documentary research endeavors into diving deeper into the history of medical breast imaging, trying to depict a timeline of figures of breast up to nowadays.
