Imaging

L'ecografia della mammella, come anche per altri distretti anatomici ma in modo peculiare, è oggi una metodica multiparametrica, in cui l'operatore utilizza tutte le opzioni tecnologiche necessarie, in aggiunta al B-mode, per massimizzare i risultati del proprio esame. Se il color-Doppler è da anni ormai parte ntegrante di qualsiasi indagine ecografica, bisogna tener conto anche delle nuove modalità di studio microvascolare, delle tecniche elastografiche, dei mezzi di contrasto e di tutte le altre opzioni che oggi sono "a bordo" degli ecografi. Questo manuale si propone di essere come una messa a punto, aggiornata e completa, sullo stato dell'arte dell'ecografia mammaria, allo scopo di calare in maniera appropriata l'approccio multiparametrico avanzato nel contesto degli scenari clinici senologici quotidiani. Corredato da ampio materiale iconografico (circa 1050 immagini, schemi e tabelle) ad illustrare i diversi quadri patologici. Un ausilio veloce e importante per l'esecuzione e la refertazione.

The names Tabar and Dean are associated with high-quality mammography worldwide. In this fourth edition of the bestselling Teaching Atlas of Mammography, readers are again invited to share in the authors experience of analyzing and evaluating mammograms. Their systematic approach not only instills a full understanding of the principles of mammography but also provides the requisite knowledge and tools to arrive at a highly accurate differential diagnosis. Rather than starting with the diagnosis and demonstrating typical findings, the approach of this atlas is to teach the reader how to analyze the image and reach the correct diagnosis through proper evaluation of the mammographic signs. Prerequisites for the perception and evaluation of the mammographic findings are optimum technique, knowledge of anatomy, and understanding of the pathological processes leading to the mammographic appearances. Special features: * Revised and expanded case studies, based on 40 years of imaging experience, provide instructive long-term follow-up of patients over a period of up to 25 years * Offers a unique comparison of imaging findings with the corresponding large thin-section and subgross thicksection (3D) histologic images to facilitate an understanding of the pathologic processes and the mammographic appearances they lead to* Includes an abundance of coned-down compression views, microfocus magnification views, and specimen radiographs to support the analytic workup Teaching Atlas of Mammography and the Breast Cancer book series by the same authors are essential for residents in radiology and practicing radiologists who need the highest level of training in the radiologic anatomy of the normal breast and the changes associated with benign and malignant lesions. They will help ensure that all clinicians acquire the optimal technique and knowledge of pathologic processes necessary to reach a correct diagnosis, and achieve the best long-term outcomes for their patients.

Praise for this book: This teaching textbook is highly recommended to any radiologist. --Clinical Imaging May 2011, Antonio F. Govoni, MD The difference [between this book] with traditional books presenting radiological cases is based on the choice by the authors to present each case as a quiz thereby stimulating the reader to test his/her experience and technical knowledge. --Clinical Imaging May 2011, Aldo Morra, MD Simulates the experience of having the direct supervision of a more seasoned radiologist colleague...one could find the answer to virtually any question about breast imaging interventional procedures in this book. --Doody's Review Written by a team of experts, this practical how-to guide provides a systematic overview of the most current image-guided interventional techniques used to diagnose breast abnormalities. In the first part of the book, the authors discuss how to acquire tissue samples using minimally invasive procedures such as ultrasound-, x-ray-, and MRI-based interventions, and present information on pretherapeutic localization and classification of lesions. The second part of the book covers the essentials of fine-needle aspiration and cytologic assessment, followed by a chapter on histologic evaluation and up-to-date pathology reporting categories for core and vacuum biopsy specimens. Features: *1,295 high-quality clinical images from the authors' daily practice illustrate radiographic findings and examination approaches * More than 50 cases studies for self-assessment * Separate chapters on patient preparation, instrumentation, galactography and ductoscopy, and sentinel node biopsy * Color-coded text boxes highlight tips, tricks, pitfalls, checklists, and guidelines for rapid review of essential concepts * Consistent chapter structure for maximum accessibility Interventional Breast Imaging is a must-have resource for all radiologists and gynecologists. It will improve the accuracy and confidence of any clinician involved in image-guided breast interventions.
