About this book
Mammography can be thought of as a (sub)macroscopic "shadow pathology" - confident diagnosis necessitates comprehensive knowledge of breast pathology. The traditional rules of thumb, for example that a regular, rounded shadow means a benign lesion, a radiating structure represents a malignant tumor, and microcalcification indicates biopsy, no longer hold true. This volume aims to explain modern breast pathology to physicians practicing mammography. The over 600 individual illustrations and more than 1,000 references help the reader understand breast morphology. The book is rounded off by a detailed description of the clinical symptoms and a helpful summary of the supplementary diagnostic procedures and the possibilities for treatment.
Reviews
From the reviews:
From the New England Journal of Medicine 4/29/2004: ".. regales the reader with the insights.. of one of mammography's great pioneers .. For the reader with a solid background in mammography, this book is a treasure .. the coverage on calcifications is wonderful.. the true lessons are the images."
"Lanyi presents a comprehensive and well-organized review of mammography and clinical breast disease that is correlated with updated concepts of breast disease richly illustrated with 400 figures. … All sections are richly supplemented with high-quality illustrations … . The chapters are also comprehensive … . The book is well written, and new concepts of breast disease are presented … . This book would work well as an introductory text, a reference text, or a teaching tool." (Suzanne Mastin, Radiology, April, 2005)
"Mammography: Diagnosis and Pathological Analysis is designed for readers with a solid understanding of breast diseases and breast imaging. ... Overall ... is a good book. It should be an educational asset for upper-level radiology residents and fellows in breast imaging and breast pathology. With an extensive index and a lengthy list of references at the end of each chapter, the book is a valuable resource. The book would be a good addition to most radiology departmental libraries." (Parul Patel and Gary J. Whitman, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 48 (1), January, 2007)
