Includes expanded coverage of all of the other imaging modalities available to identify diseases of the breast. This resource also addresses histopathology, surgery, epidemiology, clinical and historical issues, as well as today's hot topics, such as sentinel node biopsy. It correlates radiologic findings with pathologic considerations, and provides detailed, richly illustrated reviews of the techniques and procedures involved with mammography.
