This comprehensive volume serves as an authoritative guide to both performing and interpreting breast ultrasound examinations. It meticulously details every facet of the examination process—from selecting the appropriate equipment and mastering examination techniques, to establishing links between sonographic and mammographic findings, to accurately characterizing sonographic abnormalities.
This resource is complemented by over 1,500 illustrative materials, including ultrasound scans, corresponding mammographic images, and diagrams that spotlight key elements of the examination. Dr. Stavros provides a thorough explanation of the physics behind breast ultrasound, as well as the specialized probes and equipment required to generate high-resolution images of breast tissue.
The book’s chapters on breast ultrasound anatomy showcase the level of anatomic detail that current technology can capture, and bridge the gap between sonographic and mammographic anatomic features. The following chapters lay out detailed examination procedures for assessing specific abnormalities, and illuminate the distinguishing characteristics of different cystic and solid breast lesions. A dedicated chapter on the Doppler characterization of breast lesions is also included, rounding out this essential guide.
