Sonomammography

This atlas demonstrates the interplay between x-ray mammography and sonomammography through examples of the same lesion imaged by different ultrasound techniques. This permits radiologists who may have only one of these techniques available to use it for accurate evaluation of breast problems. Presentation is based on analysis of 2000 ultrasound examinations, primarily by direct-contact static scanning rather than water-path techniques. Illustrations in each chapter are preceded by in-depth supporting descriptions as well as analysis of the ultrasound appearances. Extensively illustrated.

This fourth edition has been fully revised to provide radiologists with the most up to date ultrasound images and information for diagnosing and treating disorders in various crucial organs. Fifteen sections present more than 3500 high resolution sonographic images in the eye and orbit, face, salivary gland, gastrointestinal system, prostate, genitalia, peripheral chest, and much more. The book has been completely rewritten and includes new chapters on face, sperm transport system, ambiguous genitalia and intersex. More than 70% of the images have been replaced with new images using 3D multiplanar tomographic ultrasound imaging. Each topic covers both common and less common pathologies, and CT and MRI images are also included to enhance understanding.

This volume is a complete and definitive guide to performing and interpreting breast ultrasound examinations. The book explains every aspect of the examination in detail—from equipment selection and examining techniques, to correlations between sonographic and mammographic findings, to precise characterization of sonographic abnormalities. A chapter on Doppler characterization of breast lesions is included. Complementing the text are more than 1,500 illustrations, including ultrasound scans, corresponding mammographic images, and diagrams of key aspects of the examination.

This textbook of breast investigation and imaging, including associated physics and epidemiology, is intended to remedy the demand for information on mammography and associated diagnostic modalities. Techniques such as Doppler ultrasound, stereotactic aspiration and cytology are covered.

Self-breast examination and annual mammography is important in detecting breast cancer in its early stage. Reporting any abnormalities of the breast early and getting treatment early is the key to survival.

A concise, general text intended to complement existing atlases, highlighting areas important in clinical practice but whose details are scattered in the literature. Includes numerous high quality reproductions of clinical radiographs. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

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.
