Clinical Breast Tomosynthesis: A Case-Based Approach (PDF Book)
About the Book
Discover the power of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) or “3D mammography” technology with this definitive reference by Lonie R. Salkowski and Tanya Moseley. DBT provides unmatched imaging ability to view the breast tissue layer by layer, making it possible to detect and differentiate malignancies from normal and benign findings. This multimedia textbook is an essential resource for radiologists and mammography technicians who are eager to build their expertise in this state-of-the-art technology.
The first section of the book explores DBT fundamentals, including physics, reconstruction methods, acquisition parameters, and patient dose and data size considerations. The next two sections are packed with clinical case studies, organized by DBT screening and diagnostic components. Each case study includes introductory images, pertinent clinical information, and findings labeled on subsequent images with BI-RADS terminology. You’ll also find full field digital mammography and/or synthetic 2D mammogram images that mirror what’s encountered in DBT breast-imaging programs, plus clinical pearls on interpreting images and making diagnoses.
Key Features
- 100 case studies demonstrate how to navigate the technology and make decisions regarding follow-up studies
