Abstract
Breast tumor is the most common tumor in the world. The most important method to reduce the mortality due to breast tumor is diagnosed and found as early as possible. Imaging technology is one of the most important means to help doctors diagnose tumor early. This paper first simply introduces the common imaging technology. Then the mechanism and application of the ultrasonic elastic imaging technology in the diagnosis of breast tumor are summarized and discussed detailly. The methods for image treatment are introduced also. At last the development trend is analyzed. It is shown that the ultrasonic imaging technology is the most convenient and the cheapest relative to other imaging technologies such as nuclear magnetic imaging (NMI) and computer tomography (CT). Especially the ultrasonic elastic imaging technology can provide not only imaging information but also mechanism parameters, which helps to improve the accuracy of diagnosis obviously. Therefore, the ultrasonic elastic imaging technology is worthy of being studied further. More effective image analysis method is required.

Summary
The most important method to reduce the mortality due to breast tumor is diagnosed and found accurately as early as possible [1]. It is required to promote the ratio of early diagnosis. Imaging technology is one of the most important means to help doctors diagnose tumor fast. The resolution of image, accuracy of diagnosis and speed of image analysis are improved greatly. The ultrasonic elastic imaging developed in recent years promotes greatly the quantitative diagnosis of tumor. The apparatus for tumor imaging, basic theories and analysis methods for images are required studied further to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. This paper summarized the development of imaging technology in the diagnosis of breast tumor. The disadvantages required to be studied further are analyzed
