Summary:

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. Many 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.
