상품상세정보
The second edition of The Practice of Breast Ultrasound is an indispensable reference for the latest techniques in
detecting common breast pathologies. New in this edition are guidelines for quality control and an expanded chapter on
3D scanning. More than 700 high-quality images, including new 100 images, demonstrate concepts of pathology and
facilitate comprehension of diagnostic techniques. The book is organized into three main sections enabling
radiologists, residents, and sonographers with various levels of expertise to rapidly locate topics of interest.

Basic Course

Provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of breast ultrasound, equipment selection, and standard
protocols for the examination
