'A mammographic atlas for reference...tools for developing improved intrepretative abilities...a useful addition to other publications in mammography.' -- Doody's Book Review'Teaching points are masterfully illustrated by images, diagrams and charts. Side-by-side comparisons of mammographic findings and exquisitely reproduced sub-gross, 3D histologic images allow the reader to gain a deeper understanding of normal breast anatomy and malignant disease. The value of such comparison cannot be over-emphasized. Any radiologist involved in breast screening will surely benefit...Breast Cancer will be a much used reference for anyone involved in mammography or breast pathology.' -- AuntMinnie[The editors'] object was definitely reached by successfully introducing many junior radiologists to the understanding of mammography, and at the same time helping more senior mammographers in the correct interpretation of a questionable finding. ...With excellent, demonstrative illustrations for the proper positioning of the patient, in order to obtain the most successful mammographic images. The chapters are accompanied by a rich iconography of excellent quality. It was a pleasure to read and analyze this textbook, which leads the reader step by step to a better understanding of the mammographic images when compared with their histo-pathological aspects and, therefore, to correlating the two findings and obtaining a definite diagnostic conclusion. Appreciated also was the chapter dedicated to the positioning of the patient, a particular which often is not considered of primary importance but on which many times the performance of a successful mammography depends. The publisher should also be congratulated for the typography and superb image-presentation of the topics discussed. -- Journal of Clinical ImagingHelp in identifying the more difficult-to-interpret parenchymal patternsThis is a beautifully illustrated book in which images far outnumber text. Aimed at radiologists and other film readers in breast imaging, particularly screening, the ultimate purpose of this book is to help physicians learn how to find as many breast cancers as possible in the pre-clinical stage.The wealth of directly comparative mammographic and histological images -- particularly the large section slides and sub-gross thick section images -- would also make this an interesting book for pathologists specialising in breast disease.Using a five sub-group classification of mammographic parenchymal patterns, a wide range of breast pathology is illustrated with particular emphasis on the appearance of malignancy in the more difficult to interpret parenchymal patterns.The mammographic images and complementary ultrasound and pathological images are of superb quality. Sequential images from successive screens demonstrate the development of tumours, illustrating subtle features. The reader is also taken through how to assess a potential lesion and some of the pitfalls to be avoided.This book is an ideal companion for those training in mammographic film reading, but also contains many gems for those already established in breast imaging. -- Reviewed by Dr K. Duncan, Consultant Radiologist at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for RAD Magazine, July 2005
