Atlas Of Breast Imaging

This atlas is an excellent visual aid to interpreting breast imaging findings and a valuable complement to Breast Imaging, Second Edition. The atlas contains 489 images depicting the various mammographic, ultrasonographic, and MRI findings encountered in clinical practice. Over 250 legends highlight key teaching points. The opening section presents screening cases. Subsequent sections are organized according to the categories defined in the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS(R)).

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.

KS Goleria has been a leader of Indian plastic surgery for more than fifty years. He has pioneered many new developments in craniofacial surgery, microsurgery, cleft lip and palate surgery and now the management of hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Forwarded by well-known Craniofacial and Reconstructive Surgeon from Institute of Craniofacial and Reconstructive Southfield, Michigan, USA. Each of the contributors have created areas of excellence in their respective fields. Lasers and Radiofrequency have emerged as important tools and are dealt with the aspect of the management of these lesi.

Atlas of Breast Imaging provides comprehensive information about mammography and ultrasound, correlating them with biopsy results. This second edition includes 111 case studies, complete with well-illustrated mammography and USG images, as well as descriptions of the pathologies. Most of the images in the first edition have been replaced by digital images, and the second edition is more comprehensive, containing 1000 images to cover most pathologies. All the case studies and images reflect the wide spectrum of mammography and sonography changes that may appear in a disease, rather than just the most common manifestation.

This atlas describes and illustrates a novel approach, referred to as full breast ultrasonography (FBU), that represents a challenge to conventional breast imaging diagnosis. The coverage encompasses examination technique, diagnostic criteria, the imaging features of a wide variety of lesions, and role in follow-up. FBU involves anatomic ultrasound scanning based on the ductal echography technique proposed by Michel Teboul, supplemented by Doppler and real-time sonoelastography. The approach offers a variety of advantages. Compared with MRI it has a lower cost, wider availability, better resolution, and improved correlation with anatomy. Compared with mammography it has the benefits of absence of irradiation and pain, applicability in all cases, and better overall accuracy. Furthermore, the standardized technique of acquisition and interpretation means that it is suitable as a screening test, unlike classic ultrasonography. FBU is applicable in ultrasound BI-RADS assessment and is of value in depicting both benign and malignant conditions. It can be recommended as a first-line method of diagnosis and for the follow-up of treated breasts, regardless of the patient’s age, sex, or physical condition.

Contains procedures, interpretation and exam pre-requisites of mammography, breast ultrasound and doppler and contains 512 slides and lot of X-rays.

This book presents the basic concepts for understanding and practicing breast pathology in routine practice. It explains how to tackle the diagnosis, emphasizing diagnostic clues for each entity as well as pitfalls and mimickers. Each chapter has concise, relevant text illustrated by numerous high-quality pictures highlighting the pearls and challenges in the diagnosis of breast lesions. Experts from around the world describe common and rarer conditions affecting the breast. Histology, immunohistochemistry, cytology, radiology and key morphologic criteria are covered. The book includes a chapter dedicated to breast normal histology, which is very important for understanding breast pathology, and a separate chapter for breast radiology, which is essential in understanding and diagnosing the breast lesions especially in a multidisciplinary team. Also, there is a chapter with the latest TNM staging system as well as the recently revised World Health Organization classification of breast tumors. Since in many breast units the cytology is still used to diagnose breast lesions there is a chapter dedicated to this technique. This book is aimed at trainees and practicing pathologists in surgical pathology, particularly those with an interest in breast pathology and those tackling the daily sign-out.
