Breast Ultrasoundby A. Thomas Stavros
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This volume is a complete and definitive guide to performing and interpreting breast ultrasound examinations. The book explains every aspect of the examination in detail--from equipment selection and examining techniques, to correlations between sonographic and mammographic findings, to precise characterization of sonographic abnormalities. Complementing the text are more than 1,500 illustrations, including ultrasound scans, corresponding mammographic images, and diagrams of key aspects of the examination. Dr. Stavros thoroughly explains the physics of breast ultrasound and the special probes and other equipment needed to produce high-resolution images of breast tissue. Chapters on breast ultrasound anatomy demonstrate the anatomic detail that can be seen on current equipment and correlate sonographic and mammographic anatomic features. Subsequent chapters describe examination procedures for evaluating specific abnormalities and detail the distinguishing features of different cystic and solid breast lesions. Also included is a chapter on Doppler characterization of breast lesions. Book News Annotation:In this major reference, Stavros (Radiology Imaging
Assoc./Invision—Sally Jobe Breast Centers, Englewood, Colo.) has
19 stand-alone, in-depth chapters describing the equipment,
technique, and specific disorders encountered in breast ultrasound.
The chapter titles include several on targeted and nontargeted
indications including one, co- written with Cynthia Rapp (of
RIA/Invision), on mammary implants. Other topics include sonographic
evaluation of breast cysts, nonmalignant breast disorders with
complex cystic phases, benign solid nodules, evaluation of the male
breast, and doppler evaluation. A chapter on ultrasound- guided
needle procedures was written by Steve H. Parker (of SJBC). An
initial chapter describes basic breast anatomy for understanding
sonography. The chapters are heavily illustrated with b&w images,
many with lengthy descriptive captions.
