Step by Step Breast Ultrasound

Breast Ultrasound has advanced enormously in the last five years, both in quantity and quality.
Ultrasound is used as a primary imaging technique for patients under 35. Ultrasound is also used
as secondary imaging to further characterize all mammographic lesions and in patients with clinical
abnormalities not seen in Mammography.

This book has been designed as a concise yet comprehensive work for all health care professionals
dealing with breast imaging. It has been divided into 4 sections to facilitate reading and
review. Section 1 is a brief introduction to Breast Ultrasound; Section 2 deals with technical
aspects; Section 3 contains chapters on benign and malignant lesions; finally Section 4 deals with
breast implants.

In particular it will be an invaluable pocket reference guide for radiologists, oncologists and
general practitioners.
