5PREFACE
Breast Ultrasound has advanced enormously in the last five years, both in quantity and quality. US is used as a primary imaging for under 35's. US is used as second imaging to further characterize all mammographic lesions and in patients with clinical abnormalities not seen on Mammography. US visible lesions are biopsied under US guidance; this enables complex problems to be sorted out.
This book has been designed as a comprehensive work for all health care professionals dealing with breast imaging. It has been divided into 4 Sections to facilitate reading and review. is a brief introduction to Breast Ultrasound; deals with technical aspects; contains chapters on benign and malignant lesions; finally deals with breast implants.
This book shows some of the pits we have fallen into the last five years, with hints on trying to stay out of them.
