Breast Imaging: The Requisites (Requisites in Radiology) (Hardcover)

~ Debra Ikeda (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

New text that clearly outlines the basics on how to conduct and interpret diagnostic breast images. The study is truly in depth, as it covers the whole topic through illustration and careful discussion. Although the natural audience for this text is Radiology Residents (and practicing Radiologists), it extends well beyond these boundaries: internists, all women's health practioners and primary care physicians will be well-served.

By	Peterson Fernandes (Brasil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of the best books in Breast imaging in my opinion.
Most of the images are of good quality.
Concise but complete. All the needed stuff is in there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Much worse than other books of requisites series, February 23, 2009

By	R. Tetzlaff "RadLad" (Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I still am a fan of the requisites series. Read the Neuroradiology and the Musculosceletal volume and both focus on the important facts in a really didactic manner. After reaching page 100, the Breast volume still disappoints me. The author tends to ramble, repeats the same sentences with different word order, confuses concave with convex, and so on. The images may be good, but for someone inexperienced with breast imaging (the recommended audience I supposed) the annotations are totally inadequate. The findings are not marked in the images (I repeatedly did not find them), nothing but the findings are described (leaving me to wonder: "and what about this round structure", "why is this density not a mass or asymmetry",.... Further she doesn't seem to try to apply the BiRADS-terms stringently, for my understanding, a mass seen only in one view is an asymmetry, why does she not call it that?
I guess the key facts can be found in this book, but with a clear concise structured language it could easily be shorter. And a radiology teaching book has to have adequate descriptions of the image material!
My first book on breast imaging, so I cannot recommend anything better but I sure hope there is something better on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in the series, May 15, 2009

Loved this book. Helped me a lot in my prep for the oral boards. Clear, concise treatment of all the subjects in breast imaging. It's a lot better than the case review.
