Book description
Mammography Casebook
presents 100 complex breast imaging cases in a question and answer
format, ideal for self-testing and review. Each case is presented in a
concise way, with two pages devoted to review of the patient's imaging
studies and the following two pages to analysis and categorization of
findings. The clinician will benefit from thorough review of the
relevant standard views as well as from discussion of the usefulness of
techniques, such as spot compression and coned views. The author
classifies image findings using BI-RADS criteria and provides
differential diagnoses and commentary on eventual histological results
that will help the radiologist manage all clinical situations.
Additional image sequences illuminate concepts in advanced procedures,
such as MR-guided core biopsy or specimen radiography. Features:
Succinct descriptions and consistent presentation that enhances ease
of use
Key points highlighted in easy-to-reference blue boxes
More than 1,700 high-quality images
From initial screening to histology to treatment options, this casebook
will help the radiologist develop the knowledge and skills needed to
examine for and accurately diagnose both common and rare breast tumors.
"Cases are well presented...image quality is excellent, allowing
adequate assessment of unknown cases...tables clearly document the
findings. The index is good, making this an excellent text for reference
use, as well as for self-teaching in mammography education and board
certification preparation."--Radiology_x000D_ _x000D_ "This is
another excellent book on mammography by the same author who gave us
Practical MR Mammography
. This is a book that any radiologist interested in the study of breast
disease should have. Junior radiologists in particular should study this
book, from which slowly they will acquire greater confidence when facing
breast imaging."--Clinical Imaging _x000D_ _x000D_ "This high
quality atlas describes a hundred cases covering all aspects of breast
pathology. Each case is beautifully illustrated with clinical
photographs of breast abnormalities and reproductions of all relevant
imaging of an extremely high quality. [The book] lends itself for use as
a reference text..[it] will act as an adjunct to other reading for the
trainee radiologist or advanced practitioner in breast
imaging."--RAD Magazine_x000D_ _x000D_ "The quality of images
and explanation of imaging findings in this book is superior. The
consistent use of the BI-RADS lexicon is excellent...useful...[for]
preparing for the boards."--Doody's Book Reviews Professor,
Women's Health Care Center, Goettingen, Germany
