Main description:

This book is a comprehensive guide to breast imaging for clinicians and trainees. Presented as a series of cases, the text follows a unique approach by correlating radiological and pathological findings.

Beginning with an overview of breast screening, the book covers all imaging techniques – mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and new technologies including digital breast tomosynthesis and molecular imaging.

The following sections explain different types of breast cancer, staging, surgical planning, unusual lesions, and imaging in pregnancy and lactation, and with breast implants. A complete chapter is dedicated to evaluation of the male breast.

Authored by recognised specialists from Tennessee and Chicago, the book features numerous radiological images to assist understanding. Each case is different, creating a unique radiology-pathology correlation pattern.
