What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Breast Imaging

This book is an introduction to breast imaging, specifically designed for the needs of first through third year residents. While rotating through breast imaging, radiology residents are asked to learn significant amounts of information at a fast and unrelenting pace. However, most current books are densely written and contain far more material than residents need to know. Moreover, the number, variety and quality of images is often limited.

What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Breast Imaging answers these needs by presenting the important information in bullet fashion, divided into convenient sub-units, such as ?clinical information,? ?imaging findings? and ?management.? This book covers such topics as breast cancer, benign breast disease, image-guided interventions, pregnant and lactating patients, transgender patients, and male breast disease. In addition, it contains tips on approaching and interpreting mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI studies based on decades of practical experience and teaching residents at the work station as well as a list of common differentials.

With liberal use of illustrations in the text and an online bank of many more high-quality images, this book gives readers a comprehensive library of breast imaging scans and serves as an ideal guide for radiology residents.
