Clinical Breast Imaging: A Patient Focused Teaching File (LWW Teaching File Series)

MRI has become the preferred noninvasive imaging modality for the heart and great vessels. The substantial technological progress achieved in recent years has provided the user with state-of-the-art MRI systems, but their optimal use can be limited by restricted awareness of the potential patient benefit and the necessity for teaching. This extensively illustrated handbook, together with the accompanying CD-ROM, has been specifically compiled to meet these needs. Essential theoretical background information is provided, and imaging acquisition and potential pitfalls are considered in detail. Most importantly, structured guidelines are provided on the interpretation of clinical data in the wide range of cardiac pathology that can be encountered. Throughout, the emphasis is on the implementation of cardiac MRI in clinical practice.

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.
