Description
X-Ray mammography is the most valuable imaging technique used in the detection and evaluation of breast disease. This book is intended to provide radiologists in-training and in practice with a practical guide to the acquisition, identification and interpretation of mammograms as well as adjunctive modalities such as ultrasound, FNA cytology, MRI and digital imaging. 400 high-quality images provide the reader with a comprehensive guide to the radiologic indications of benign and malignant breast disease. The book also provides an overview of the crucial prerequisites for a successful breast cancer detection program by integrating the imaging modalities with technical and quality control issues, epidemiologic data, and risk/benefit analysis.
