Riassunto

Through a case-based approach, this book illustrates the best practices for all facets of breast cancer imaging - from screening of asymptomatic patients to cancer staging, identifying metastases, and assessing efficacy of treatment - in a succinct, practical source. Contributing authors from a wide range of subspecialties provide well-rounded guidance to meet the needs of today's multidisciplinary work environment.

• Presents multidisciplinary discussions on the advantages and/or limitations of all available modalities.
• Includes advice from leading experts on cross-sectional imaging, breast imaging, and PET/CT, with input from radiation oncology, medical oncology, and breast surgery, to span the complete spectrum of care from screening to diagnosis to treatment, reflecting today's team approach to patient care.
• Covers all imaging modalities to help you correlate disease presentations on mammography, CT, MR, US, and PET images.
• Offers a very practical, clinical, concise approach to the subject in a case-based format.
• Provides over 1,000 high-resolution images of disease appearance for comparison with the findings you encounter in your practice.

Recensione

"This new book by Marie Tartar, Christopher E. Comstock and Michael S. Kipper is not easily comparable to other textbooks. And it is outstanding...It delivers a multidisciplinary approach, most importantly, from a clinical point of view. In my opinion, this new concept is the logical answer to a widespread specialization of radiologists. Besides the familiarity with the imaging modalities used in our own subspecialty, we have to have knowledge about the relevant strengths and weaknesses of the techniques used in other fields of radiology." - Schueller G.
