DESCRIPTION:
The findings obtained in the full range of benign and malignant conditions, including postoperative changes, are then presented with the aid of a wealth of high-quality illustrations from case examples. After clear explanation of basic principles of the technique, individual chapters address diagnostic criteria, indications, and use of breast tomosynthesis as a screening tool. Detailed attention is paid to the BI-RADS classification, bearing in mind the ability of tomosynthesis to reduce categorizations as BI-RADS 3 and 0, thereby decreasing the recall rate. This superbly illustrated atlas of breast tomosynthesis covers all aspects and applications of the technology, which reduces tissue overlap and facilitates the recognition of small cancers. The book concludes by examining tomosynthesis-guided interventions such as vacuum-assisted breast biopsy and galactography.
He then undertook a research fellowship at the University of Los Angeles, USA, focusing on radiopeptide imaging and tracer development. Dr. He is a leading pioneer in the field: he integrated breast tomosynthesis into his daily practice and diagnostic workup as long ago as 2008 and organized the first workshop on the subject in the German-speaking countries in 2010. His special interest is the radiological aspects of senology, with a particular focus on breast tomosynthesis. The first installation of the C-View software worldwide was at Engeried Hospital in 2012. . After undertaking residencies in Internal Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology, he became senior resident in the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology at Inselspital Bern and Sonnenhof AG, Bern
Dr. In 2009, Dr. Waldherr joined Martin Sonnenschein at Engeried Hospital, specializing in imaging in women and musculoskeletal imaging. His special interest is the radiological aspects of senology, with a particular focus on breast tomosynthesis. Martin Sonnenschein is a board-certified radiologist who is currently Head of the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at Engeried Hospital, Bern, Switzerland, which is a EUSOMA-certified Breast Center of the Lindenhof
