Dr. Kopans' definitive reference on breast imaging is now in its revised, updated, and expanded Second Edition. The book combines a complete, superbly illustrated atlas of imaging findings with a comprehensive text that covers all imaging modalities and addresses all aspects of breast imaging--including breast anatomy, histology, physiology, pathology, breast cancer staging, and preoperative localization of occult lesions. The Second Edition features seven new chapters--breast cancer screening; radiation risk; magnetic resonance imaging; a systematic approach to breast imaging; the American College of Radiology breast imaging reporting system; quality control and assurance; and the altered breast, including biopsy, radiation therapy, implants, and lactation. Dr. Kopans also provides expanded coverage of breast ultrasound, image-guided needle placement (including stereotactic biopsy), lesion analysis, and positioning techniques. This edition contains more than 1,500 illustrations, including many new mammograms and scans using other imaging modalities. Breast Imaging, Second Edition is also available electronically on a CD-ROM. The book and CD-ROM can be purchased together at a special low price, or you can order a money-saving package of the text plus Dr. Kopans' Atlas of Breast Imaging plus the CD-ROM. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daniel B.
