Reviews

‘... a neat, compact guide to mammography practice ... divided into four sections that follow a very logical layout, which is easy to navigate ... Overall, this is a well written and laid out book that is useful as a pocket guide for students and also a reference book for mammographers new to training students. It not only shows the reader how to position for a mammogram but also how not to position ... a book that all students should have access to and a great addition to any department library.’ - Lucie Magilton Griffin, clinical specialist advanced practitioner – breast imaging, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for RAD Magazine.
