Opis

Praise for this book:
"This book should be required reading for the multidisciplinary team of physicians and health care professionals who use mammography for breast cancer detection and treatment...a landmark volume in the field of mammography."--Radiology
Internationally renowned breast cancer imagers, Laszlo Tabar and Peter B.
Dean, and the eminent breast pathologist, Tibor Tot, distill decades of clinical
expertise in this new volume covering the most frequently occurring malignant
type of calcifications: the pleomorphic, crushed stone-like calcifications.
The book presents a systematic approach to using mammographic features to
distinguish different subtypes of breast diseases originating within the
terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU). More than 800 images demonstrate abnormal
findings with superb clarity, providing a state-of-the-art visual reference for
interpreting mammograms in the clinical setting.

Features:

• Concise descriptions of mammographic and MRI findings
  correlated with high-quality histopathologic images to provide a reliable
  guide for accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis, as well as prognostic
  classification
• Extensive coverage of all aspects of the benign
  differential diagnostic counterparts of pleomorphic calcifications, including
  fibrocystic change, fibroadenoma, and papilloma
• Straightforward discussion of terminology based on a
  thorough analysis of subgross anatomy, 3D histologic features, and long-term
  disease outcomes
• 3D viewing glasses enclosed in the book for
  perceiving specially marked images in their true three-dimensional form

This
book is ideal for all breast imagers and breast pathologists, as well as for
surgeons and oncologists specializing in breast diseases. For the radiologist,
this book is an indispensable reference for harnessing the power of mammography to detect breast cancer at the earliest stages possible.
