Diagnostic Imaging: Breast

Diagnostic Imaging: Breast 4th ed delivers a comprehensive guide for breast imaging specialists with essential details for everyday breast imaging and the potential to positively impact the delivery of breast care and optimized patient outcomes. Because breast imagers consider a wide range of factors in their work with every patient they see, this book’s wide range of topic coverage is invaluable as it provides a one-stop resource. Increasingly, breast imaging is a patient-centered and individualized practice, and breast screening, formerly the domain of mammography alone, is now performed or augmented with other imaging modalities including digital mammography, hand-held ultrasound, dynamic contrast-enhanced MR, digital breast tomosynthesis, and other methods depending on individual patient characteristics. DI Breast begins with substantial anatomy coverage and provides the anatomy of, and normal variants of, breast anatomy. Additional content on the daily practice of breast imagers is included in each of the book’s 15 sections, with content on physical principles of breast MRI, techniques for performing image-guided biopsies, radioactive seed localization, and a wealth of clinical images to help evaluate breast symptoms such as breast lumps, nipple discharge, and axillary adenopathy. Helpful chapters detail the role of imaging in determining the extent of disease and principles of breast cancer treatment with surgery, plastic surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy as well as expanded chapters on incidence during pregnancy, general infections and inflammations, and male breast disease.
