Overview
This book presents up to date debates and issues in the world of breast MRI with a very practical focus on how to incorporate current understanding of breast MRI into clinical practice. The book is divided into three key sections, all of which have critical impact for the breast imager: Techniques introduces the reader to the parameters of breast MRI from standard sequences to up-to-date cutting edge techniques. Indications provides a careful review of the accepted indications for breast MRI from High Risk Screening to use of breast MRI, in the context of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a detailed analysis of the evidence-based support for these indications and a careful look at controversies and debates within the field. MRI Findings, Interpretation, and Management takes on the topics of how to interpret and manage specific MRI findings from benign to malignant disease with a focus on radiologic-pathologic correlation. The section also incorporates a focus on key management dilemmas, including appropriate follow-up intervals for benign findings on MRI and management of probably benign lesions assessed as a Breast Imaging Reporting and Dictating System (BI-RADS)-3 category on MRI.

Reviews
This book is a comprehensive overview of the now well-established technique of breast MRI in the assessment of breast disease. ... This book is most likely to be of interest to radiologists in sub-specialty training in breast imaging, but would also be of interest as a reference text to consultant radiologists established in reporting breast MRI with a moderate level of experience. ... The book is compact and well laid out. (Mamatha Reddy, RAD Magazine, June, 2018)
