This review is from: Atlas of Breast Imaging (Hardcover)

Despite its age, this book is an excellent text outlining breast pathology, in a concise atlas. Image quality is good (but can be improved). Captions describe the imaging findings and many captions are accompanied by helpful teaching points.

Modalities covered including conventional film screen mammography, ultrasound and antiquated MRI images.

This is a solid book on differentials and pitfalls related to breast imaging.
