Whitman G.J., Haygood T.M. (Eds.) Digital Mammography: A Practical Approach

Cambridge University Press, 2013. — 199 p. — ISBN: 978-0-521-76372-1.Digital mammography has many advantages over film-screen mammography, including faster acquisition, easier storage and easier retrieval of images. Written by expert radiologists and physicists, Digital Mammography: A Practical Approach compares digital mammography to conventional film-screen mammography, reviews clinical cases and explores newer modalities. Key topics include: Digital detectors Monitors Image acquisition Image storage, retrieval and transfer Image interpretation and efficacy Artifacts A comparison of commercially available systems Mobile digital mammography. An image atlas and sections on digital tomosynthesis and computed tomography of the breast enhance the text. Digital Mammography: A Practical Approach melds the worlds of clinical radiology and physics in an easy-to-understand, practical resource. A valuable addition to the shelf of radiologists, radiologic technicians, practicing medical physicists and mammography technologists; and any practitioners developing and expanding digital mammography programs.Detectors for digital mammography
