This book presents a practical, no-nonsense approach to mammographic interpretation and reporting in a style that can be easily understood by both the radiologist and non-radiologist. Technique, expectations, and pitfalls of needle localization on nonpalpable lesions are thoroughly reviewed. The necessary interactions with other people involved with the examination including the technologist, surgeon, and pathologist are emphasized. In addition, selected test cases which illustrate important teaching points or presented problems in management provide the radiologist with the opportunity to test the principles in the book. Physicians who have little or no exposure to mammography will find the book extremely helpful in understanding the role of mammography in diagnosing breast disease, its limitations, and what the radiologist is trying to communicate.
