Overview

This textbook is intended to give most of the information a Mammographer should have to understand and perform successfully breast imaging techniques. It is structured in 6 parts, Basic theory, Technical quality, Clinical quality, on the Report, other breast imaging techniques and Radio-Protection, Ergonomics, the academic training and the communicant skill.  Every part is divided in chapters, made up of short paragraphs with very specific titles, to give the reader the opportunity to find the answer to her/his question easily.  Much importance is given to the image produced, which should be characterized by a very high level of diagnostic information, to allow the reader to find the lesion, if it is there, as early as possible. The topic of how to produce the image is dealt with then, but also of how to evaluate thoroughly and appropriately the quality of it. Giving this in-depth knowledge was the aim of this work. The book covers up-to-date information about breast imaging and the surveillance pathway of the patient with breast cancer; it is therefore, of significant interest to Radiographers, Technologists, Radiologists, Breast Nurses; Radiographers students, both undergraduate and postgraduate; Physiotherapists.
