Description
From one of the world's most renowned mammographers and highly successful authors with Thieme, this book by Laszlo Tabar brings a lifetime of experience in interpreting mammographic images to publication. Here Laszlo Tabar introduces a systematic method, based on his experience in giving courses worldwide, for interpreting mammographic images, which in its thoroughness greatly reduces the opportunity for missing the most subtle of pathologic findings. The emphasis is on early detection. Where appropriate, pathologic specimens are shown in photographs to illustrate why mammographs appear as they do. This is the ultimate mammographic atlas for the radiologist seeking to increase his or her interpretive skills to the very best that is possible today. No breast imager should be without this book.

Description
Early detection is our most effective means for reducing the number of unnecessary deaths caused by breast cancer; however, the lack of skilled mammographic readings, especially in early stage breast cancer, makes this a less effective tool than it could be. In this book, one of the world's most renowned mammographers shares his decades of experience in the analysis and interpretation of mammographic images.
With Dr. Tabar's clear procedures and expert guidance, you will learn to discern the most subtle of pathologic changes to ensure that patients receive optimal and timely treatment. You will also improve your ability to recognize the full range of normal anatomic variability, avoiding unnecessary additional imaging and interventional procedures.
This book contains more than 1,600 high-definition images, many in full-color, to demonstrate anatomic structures, variations in normal tissue, and difficult-to-identify abnormalities. You will also appreciate clear photographs of pathologic specimens, including subgross 3-D, and large, thin-section histologic sections, correlated with mammographic images.
The result of more than two decades of intensive clinical experience, this is the ultimate mammographic atlas for developing expert interpretive skills. No radiologist or breast imager should be without this highly instructive professional reference.
