Due to the increasing number of digital mammograms and the
advent of new kinds of three-dimensional x-ray and other forms of
medical imaging, mammography is undergoing a dramatic change. To
meet their responsibilities, medical physicists must constantly
renew their knowledge of advances in medical imaging or radiation
therapy, and must be prepared to function at the intersection of
these two fields. Physics of Mammographic Imaging gives an overview
on the current role and future potential of new alternatives to
mammography in the context of clinical need, complementary
approaches, and ongoing research.
This book provides comprehensive coverage on the fundamentals of
image formation, image interpretation, analysis, and modeling. It
discusses the use of mammographic imaging in the detection,
diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of breast cancer.
Expert authors give a balanced summary of core topics such as
digital mammography, contrast-enhanced mammography,
stereomammography, breast tomosynthesis, and breast CT. The book
highlights the use of mammographic imaging with complementary
breast imaging modalities such as ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear
medicine techniques. It discusses critical issues such as
computer-aided diagnosis, perception, and quality assurance.
This is an exciting time in the development of medical imaging,
with many new technologies poised to make a substantial impact on
breast cancer care. This book will help researchers and students
get up to speed on crucial developments and contribute to future
advances in the field.
