Book description
Praise for this book:
This teaching textbook is highly recommended to any radiologist.
Clinical Imaging May 2011, Antonio F. Govoni, MD
The difference [between this book] with traditional books presenting
radiological cases is based on the choice by the authors to present
each case as a quiz thereby stimulating the reader to test his/her
experience and technical knowledge. Clinical Imaging May

interventions, and present information on pretherapeutic localization

essentials of fine-needle aspiration and cytologic assessment, followed
by a chapter on histologic evaluation and up-to-date pathology reporting
categories for core and vacuum biopsy specimens.Features:
