Diagnostic Breast Imaging

Management

Prepared by a preeminent breast imaging expert, this case-based teaching file atlas presents a clinically oriented approach to screening, diagnostic evaluation, and management of patients with breast conditions encountered by radiologists. Dr. Cardeñosa takes the reader through more than 170 actual patient cases, from classic "Aunt Minnies" to more complex and controversial problems in screening, diagnostic evaluation, and patient management. Cases are thoroughly illustrated with clear, sharp images—over 800 images total—and include multiple imaging studies, pathology studies, and pathologic correlations where appropriate. Emphasis is on determining the clinical significance of abnormalities or potential abnormalities detected on images.
