This book provides superb guidance for the interpretation of breast imaging studies for those interpreting physicians who are not subspecialists in breast imaging as well as for trainees in breast imaging. It fills an important niche in the field. -Bennett Greenspan, MD, MD(Medical College of Georgia) Doody Review: 5 stars

This book attempts to cover all aspects of breast imaging, with the inclusion of sections on postioning. technical? quality and physics, as well as the interpretation of screening and symptomatic mammography...The book is well laid out, with each chapter offering the necessary information and a clearly presented summary of key points... This book would be a useful addition to any breast screening unit, offering a helpful resource to trainee specialist radiologists and advanced practitioner radiographer...I would recommend this textbook as a useful resource for a wide audience.
