This atlas provides radiologists with essential
information for the differential diagnosis of breast diseases on the basis of
clinical presentation, mammography, and ultrasound. It begins with
chapters on tumor biology, prognostic factors, and histology. The authors then
provide a thorough evaluation of various methods for early detection and
accurate diagnosis, including analog and digital mammography, ultrasound, MR
imaging, PET/CT, and interventional procedures. They discuss in detail the
strengths and limitations of each imaging modality, aspects of quality control,
test intervals, peri- and postoperative management principles, and follow-up
care.

Highlights:

Presentation of difficult cases that effectively
demonstrate the diagnostic hurdles and forensic pitfalls in breast diagnosis
Special sections on breast cancer in men and young
women, with discussion of women who are pregnant or lactating
Color-coded practical tips and clinical notes for
optimal comprehension of the material
Extensive Q&A sections for self-testing in two
major chapters
More than 1,700 high-quality illustrations, including
clinical color photographs, ultrasound images, and mammograms
