"While the first edition of this book was written during my 9 years working at the University of Göttingen in the field of MR mammography, this second edition reflects not only the innovative changes in the performance and analysis of MR mammography but also my new vantage point modified by the shift of my working field. The current edition includes all the experience I have accumulated during the last 7 years of work at the Women's Health Care Center, Göttingen. In this frame of reference, where individualized and optimal diagnostic strategies are implemented for the early detection of breast cancer, MR mammography has increasingly earned a central role. It has also shown itself to be the most reliable diagnostic method for staging and follow-up after breast cancer"--Provided by publisher.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
The future of breast diagnosis MRI is a high-resolution, noninvasive diagnostic tool that is becoming increasingly important in the emotionally charged field of breast diagnosis. Nevertheless, only a relative handful of centers offer this modality, which:
- Combines high reproducibility with patient comfort
- Can exclude invasive carcinomas as small as 5 mm with a high degree of confidence
- Can resolve contradictions among clinical findings, conventional mammographic findings, and percutaneous biopsy
From one of the leading centers in MR mammography comes this handsome, practice-oriented teaching atlas that does much more than present pictorial information. Written for radiologists in advanced training or continuing education, it contains more than 500 illustrations that offer clear answers to the questions: When should I use MR mammography? Numerous sample indications (e.g., equivocal overall findings, preoperative staging, follow-up), MR-assisted interventions, implant evaluation, etc. How do I conduct the examination? Informed consent, patient preparation, patient positioning, equipment settings, clear instructions on timing, conduct, and protocols. How do I make an accurate diagnosis? Interpretive criteria with typical contrast enhancement patterns and signal characteristics, evaluation protocols, pitfalls and artifacts, sample images correlated with four-color histology, and direct comparison of conventional mammograms and breast ultrasound.
