Beschreibung:
Early detection is our most effective means for reducing the number of unnecessary deaths caused by breast cancer; however, the lack of skilled mammographic readings, especially in early stage breast cancer, makes this a less effective tool than it could be. In this book, one of the world's most renowned mammographers shares his decades of experience in the analysis and interpretation of mammographic images.
"From one of the world's most renowned mammographers and highly successful authors with Thieme, this book by Laszlo Tabar brings a lifetime of experience in interpreting mammographic images to publication. Here Laszlo Tabar introduces a systematic method, based on his experience in giving courses worldwide, for interpreting mammographic images which, in its thoroughness, greatly reduces the opportunity for missing the most subtle of pathologic findings. The emphasis is on early detection. Where appropriate, pathologic specimens are shown in photographs to illustrate why mammographs appear as they do. This is the ultimate mammographic atlas for the radiologist seeking to increase his or her interpretive skills. No breast imager should be without this book."
