Description:
Through a case-based approach, this book illustrates the best practices
for all facets of breast cancer imaging – from screening of asymptomatic
patients to cancer staging, identifying metastases, and assessing
efficacy of treatment – in a succinct, practical source. Contributing
authors from a wide range of subspecialties provide well-rounded
guidance to meet the needs of today's multidisciplinary work
environment.
Key Features:Presents multidisciplinary discussions on the advantages
and/or limitations of all available modalities.
Includes
advice from leading experts on cross-sectional imaging, breast imaging,
and PET/CT, with input from radiation oncology, medical oncology, and
breast surgery, to span the complete spectrum of care from screening to
diagnosis to treatment, reflecting today’s team approach to patient
care.
Covers all imaging modalities to help you correlate
disease presentations on mammography, CT, MR, US, and PET images.
Offers
a very practical, clinical, concise approach to the subject in a
case-based format.
Provides over 1,000 high-resolution
images of disease appearance for comparison with the findings you
encounter in your practice.

Chapter 1: Screening for breast cancer in asymptomatic patients
by
Chris Comstock, MD and Marie Tartar, MD
Case 1: Breast
cancer presenting as a small new mass on mammography
Case 2: Breast
cancer presenting as a new mass on mammography
Case 3: Breast
cancer presenting as a new spiculated mass on mammography
Case 4:
Breast cancer presenting as a small growing mass in the axilla
Case
5: IDC presenting as a small growing mass
Case 6: Small growing
breast cancer presenting as a contour change on mammography
Case 7:
Breast cancer presenting as a largely obscured mass in dense breast
tissue
Case 8: Slowing growing microlobulated colloid carcinoma
(benign looking
growing mass)
Case 9: Breast cancer presenting
as a new posterior mass on mammography: importance of inclusion of
posterior breast tissue on mammography
Case 10: DCIS presenting as a
microcalcification cluster
Case 11” DCIS presenting as multiple
microcalcification clusters along a ductal ray
Case 12: Breast
cancer presenting as architectural distortion in extremely dense breasts
Case 13: ILC presenting as growing amorphous density
Case 14:
Small cancer in implant patient, well seen only on implant displaced
views
Case 15: Importance of complete work-up of new mammographic masses
Case
16: MRI high risk screening for occult breast cancer
Case 17: MRI
high risk screening for occult breast cancer
Case 18: Breast cancer
presenting as a growing small mass on screening MRI
Case 19: CT
identification of unknown breast cancer in an asymptomatic patient
Case
20: PET identification of occult breast cancer in an asymptomatic
patient
Chapter 2: Evaluation of the
symptomatic patient: Diagnostic breast imaging
Cases:
1.
Palpable axillary IDC, presenting as a growing mammographic mass
simulating a lymph node
2. Palpable lump presenting as malignant
microcalcifications on mammography
3. Palpable IDC presenting as
mammographic architectural distortion and shadowing sonographic mass
4.
Palpable ILC presenting as architectural distortion
5. Palpable
lump presenting with masses and pleomorphic microcalcifications
6.
Palpable lump presenting as mammographic architectural distortion with
microcalcifications
7. Palpable lump presenting as growing amorphous
mammographic asymmetry
8. Palpable lump presenting as developing
mammographic density
9. Mammographically occult palpable breast
cancer
10. Large, palpable, mammographically occult invasive
carcinoma
11. Breast cancer involving the nipple-areolar complex,
not identified on conventional imaging, demonstrated by MRI
12.
Mammographically occult retroaerolar breast cancer presenting as nipple
retraction
13. Importance of clear communication and accurate
history; Inaccurate history of biopsy “scar” leads to near-miss of a
spiculated cancer
14. Axillary nodal p
