This book concerns the interpretation of mammograms. It contains 55 case-studies, each of which includes a full-size mammogram reproduction, a discussion of the case, additional mammograms and a histological correlation.

Following an introductory chapter, this atlas provides opportunity for readers to test their skill in interpreting the mammograms of a wide variety of pathologically proven cases. The cases were selected on the basis of their diversity of mammographic manifestations, with emphasis on the often subtle features of carcinoma. Each case begins with a short history, followed by mammograms for self testing. The test mammograms have been reproduced to full size and are free of arrows or other indicators of abnormalities. They are bounded by coordinate grids for location of abnormalities described in the findings and discussion sections. Important topics in the mammography literature are summarized.

Featuring over 1,500 mammographic images, this atlas is a comprehensive guide to interpreting mammograms. It presents the full spectrum of manifestations of breast diseases, as well as cases involving the postsurgical and augmented breast. Chapters are organized according to the pattern seen on the mammogram to develop readers' pattern recognition skills and to allow quick and complete definition of etiologies and clinical implications for a particular finding. This edition includes new chapters on the augmented breast, the role of ultrasound and MRI in breast imaging, and imaging-guided breast interventions. The terminology of the BI-RADS® lexicon is used throughout.

In two bestselling editions, this cornerstone atlas has taught radiologists how to systematically analyze mammograms and arrive at a correct diagnosis. In this new third edition, conventional histology and full-color 3D images make mammographic findings even more understandable.Highlights of this classic text include: * The most comprehensive atlas of its kind, based on 80,000 mammographic screening examinations* Offers a proven, two-step method of analyzing plain film mammograms* Produced in an oversized format that allows for exquisitely clear reproduction of images and makes obscure lesions easy to locate* Includes an abundance of coned-down compression views, microfocus magnification views, and specimen radiographs * Contains hundreds of practice cases to hone your diagnostic skillsReview By AuntMinnie.com

This superbly illustrated atlas serves as a basic introduction to contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), a breakthrough functional breast imaging modality, which is rapidly growing. This book is an essential guide for the latest developments with correlative findings, practical interpretation tips, physics, and information on how contrast mammography differs from conventional 2D and 3D Full Field of View digital mammography (FFDM). It includes: · over 1000 high-quality 2D, 3D and recombined contrast mammography images representing the spectrum of breast imaging · findings obtained in the full range of benign, pre-malignant and malignant conditions, including artefacts and postoperative changes, presented with high-quality illustrations from case examples · image interpretation tips using mammographic and DCE-MRI descriptors of the BI-RADS lexicon to effectively read and interpret this advanced imaging modality · practical tips to interpret this new modality and how it is used as an adjunct to 2D mammography · details on how integration of contrast-enhanced mammography drastically changes lesion work-up and overall workflow in the department · "imaging pearls" boxes offering interpretation tips for expert clinical guidance · a case on the recently introduced CEM guided biopsy procedure The book’s target audience consists of diagnostic radiologists, residents, fellows, technologists and clinicians involved in the care of breast cancer patients, including surgeons and oncologists. The goal is to provide a concise introduction to CEM and to lead to enhanced interpretation and better patient staging prior to surgery.
