Breast Imaging

The Second Edition of this classic reference has been almost completely rewritten and features over 1,500 illustrations, including many new mammograms and ultrasound and MRI scans. This edition provides up-to-date mammography screening recommendations, describes the Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System of the American College of Radiology (BIRADS(R)), and contains current AJCC breast cancer staging guidelines. Other new chapters cover radiation risk; mammographic positioning; a systematic approach to breast imaging; the normal breast; benign and "probably benign" mammographic findings; the altered breast; and magnetic resonance imaging. Chapters on analyzing the mammogram, ultrasound, and imaging-guided needle placement have been significantly revised. Breast Imaging, Second Edition is also available electronically on a CD-ROM. See Media section for details. The book and CD-ROM can be purchased together at a special low price, or you can order a money-saving package of the text plus Dr. Kopans' Atlas of Breast Imaging plus the CD-ROM.
