Atlas Of Contrast Enhanced Mammography

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.

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.

This book is a comprehensive guide to contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), a novel advanced mammography technique using dual-energy mammography in combination with intravenous contrast administration in order to increase the diagnostic performance of digital mammography. Readers will find helpful information on the principles of CEM and indications for the technique. Detailed attention is devoted to image interpretation, with presentation of case examples and highlighting of pitfalls and artifacts. Other topics to be addressed include the establishment of a CEM program, the comparative merits of CEM and MRI, and the roles of CEM in screening populations and monitoring of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. CEM became commercially available in 2011 and is increasingly being used in clinical practice owing to its superiority over full-field digital mammography. This book will be an ideal source of knowledge and guidance for all who wish to start using the technique or to learn more about it.

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 decriptions of the pathologies. Most of the images in the first edition have been replace by digital images, and the second edition is more comprehensive, containing 1000 images to cover pathologies. All the case studies and images relect the wide spectrum of mammography and sonography changes that may appear in a disese, rather than just the most common manifestation.

An extensive armamentarium of imaging techniques can help you accurately detect all breast lesions and avoid missed diagnoses. This book greatly expands your options by integrating both mammographic and sonographic findings, with more than 200 case examples covering a wide range of clinical conditions. Its unique format -- organized by two distinct tables of contents -- helps you locate a specific topic by either mammographic lesion or sonographic image. The book highlights the importance of high-resolution sonography and its cross-correlation with mammography by providing a broad spectrum of imaging entities, from common pathologies to rare breast abnormalities. You'll also get helpful information on normal anatomy, new technology, instrumentation, and management issues. Special features of this state-of-the-art resource: Provides clear visual patterns -- with more than 700 detailed illustrations -- that help you identify both mammographic and sonographic abnormalities Presents more than 200 cases showing a variety of scenarios, all cross-referenced for easy use Includes two different tables of contents organized by both mammographic and sonographic findings--for easy and quick reference Gives you pearls and pitfalls describing your clinical and radiographic options for even the most unusual cases Offers magnified views of calcification lesions for clear demonstration of concepts Here is the quintessential imaging atlas that radiologists, residents, and other physicians need to accurately integrate mammographic and sonographic findings. Benefit from these unique diagnostic tools that will upgrade and refine your skills in virtually any clinical situation involving 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)).

Praise for the previous edition:Well organised and beautifully illustrated...A good book for trainee breast radiologists and radiographers...[and] an extremely useful reference textbook for more experienced practitioners.--RAD MagazineThe second edition of this generously illustrated case-based reference provides a systematic visual collection of pathologic entities and a detailed assessment of how to optimize sonographic technique as well as how to approach the integration of mammography, sonography, MRI and PET/CT in breast cancer diagnosis. The book begins with a focus on teaching practical methods to analyze and incorporate mammographic, sonographic, and magnetic resonance findings in the clinical setting. The closing chapters are devoted to illustrating the applications of PET as demonstrated by specific clinical cases.Features of the second edition: Emphasis on the importance of high-resolution sonography Three new chapters on the use of MRI and PET in breast imaging Numerous new case studies -- including helpful pearls and pitfalls -- that focus on common and uncommon examples of metastatic and non-metastatic disease Charts and outlines that provide rapid reference for the clinical workup of a lesion More than 800 images that help identify both mammographic and sonographic abnormalities This thorough reference is ideal for radiologists, mammographers, oncologists, gynecologists and all clinicians looking to broaden their visual sonographic experience. Its user-friendly format makes it a handy text for radiology residents in breast rotations.
