Breast Cancer - The Art and Science of Early Detection with Mammography

2004 RSNA Bestseller! 1589 illustrations


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.

With Dr. Tabar’s clear procedures and expert guidance, you will learn to
discern the most subtle of pathologic changes to ensure that patients receive
optimal and timely treatment. You will also improve your ability to recognize
the full range of normal anatomic variability, avoiding unnecessary additional
imaging and interventional procedures.

This book contains more than 1,600 high-definition images, many in full-color,
to demonstrate anatomic structures, variations in normal tissue, and difficult-
to-identify abnormalities. You will also appreciate clear photographs of
pathologic specimens, including subgross 3-D, and large, thin-section
histologic sections, correlated with mammographic images.

The result of more than two decades of intensive clinical experience, this is
the ultimate mammographic atlas for developing expert interpretive skills. No
radiologist or breast imager should be without this highly instructive
professional reference.
