In the latest edition, readers are again invited to share in the authors’ experience of analyzing and evaluating mammograms. According to the publisher, their systematic approach not only instils a full understanding of the principles of mammography but also provides the requisite knowledge and tools to arrive at a highly accurate differential diagnosis.
The purpose of this Atlas is to teach radiologists how to analyse mammograms and arrive at the correct diagnosis through proper evaluation of the findings.
