Hi,
There are some progress made but it remains not just a medical and science but main, imho, of Staes health directives and controle. Few facts you are qlready aware of:
Radiologist stars incomes is an ethical problem and all over the world best medecine student invest the sector motivated less by medecine than their pool house...as usual exceptions exist.
It is a business owned by few machines constructors and it is a brake cause lake of massive competition (small sector : GE, Philipps Medical,...).
It is a social politic problem to increase life esperancy : it is expensive and so seen from a worldwide point of view your State involment is usefull or of zero efficienty. Notice, it is not that easy cause when Health dpt has a public politic for prevention, there can be too much radiology medical acts that are counterproductive seen as a medical aid. Your radiologist and surgerist may have tendancy to shoot and cut you more than needed. In my country there is a subject about that. Too much on medicalpaid acts is also less for other medical sector ot too spread more machine on the territory. Sorry for the long here.
It is also a personal problem, radiology can be painfull for a woman or man for maximum efficienty of the radiology shoot. Some gave up or young women do not go for prevention letting the dices deciding. It is so maybe a problem of monney to generalise less intrusive detection (pet scan, IRM ??). So see above points.
There is more or less a lack of public information according the country. It remains a political governance problem as far the number of saved lives efficienty.
It is not a lost cause, AI became usefull to improve the detection and ratting and not just let to the standalone radiologist. In evolved country, there is also always a team for multiple reading and try to avoid the cash monney temptation.
Not an easy subject... science may be braked because of what humans are... poor animals when morale and ethic are involved.... most of the time !

There's a company that uses a mobile phone to scan boobs in 3D, then warns of any changes month to month.
You could add an ultrasound to that and use the location on the 3D map, then that would give you a picture inside. The only issue is standardisation of measurement across the months and processing 3D imaging can be intensive.
You could make a male version (not just women get breast cancer), but with a cup to dangle the 'equipment' in. However like boobs I suspect there's alot of variables that change due to temperature, over time etc.
There's also going to be a large consideration of protecting privacy - both from the raw images, through to possible diagnosis etc. I worked with a large medical equipment manufacturer that basically used off site computation to analyse that wanted quantum encryption and to use quantum computing to speed up the analysis. However I feel that modern diagnostics etc will soon become heavily reliant on these personal scan type of mechanisms tied into the doctor's pre-diagnostics prior to bringing out the big guns of the clinical machines with long waiting lists.
Not only your phone app is used to lower car insurance premiums, but these technologies could be used to lower medical insurance premiums (cough cough yeah right).

There's a lot of work going on with heuristic software and the suggestion is that it's already capable of spotting tumours that the human eye misses. I suspect it won't be many years before the results of the scan are available at the same appointment.
Of course this sort of thing is going to be applied to scans of pretty much any part of our bodies.
Finally, there are around 500 men diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK. Rare, but not unknown.

My vascular surgeon was giving me CTs to watch my aneurysms, but we switched to MRI cause I am allergic to the CT contrast dye. He said it is the SW that has to improve and it has/is improving

You call that music?
Doctors warning men who "transition" that they still should have their prostates checked, annual PSA etc.
