Description

MRI is an increasing number of being used by radiologists to confirm diagnoses and perform operative procedures of the breast. MRI’s contrast between soft tissues in the breast is time and again greater than that obtained by plain-film mammography. Versus x-rays, which might be known to cause damage to cellular DNA, the magnetic fields and radiowaves used with MRI don’t seem to be known to have any long-term biologic effect. MRI of the breast requires intravenous injection of a contrast agent, which helps highlight breast abnormalities. The American Cancer Society has advised women at high risk for breast cancer to have an MRI.

This book, a collaboration between an experienced breast imager and a breast surgeon, accommodates 100 cases and covers high risk screening, extent of disease evaluation, in addition to the full range of benign and malignant tumors found in the breast: DCIS, invasive ductal cancers, and invasive lobule cancers. Rare lesions such as phyllodes, mucinous, liposarcomas, and myotiboblastomas are also covered. Pathologic correlations are included where appropriate. This book has a special emphasis on preoperative planning involving MRI and thus may additionally appeal to surgical oncologists that specialize in breast cancer.

A companion website online offers fully searchable text and images.
