Digital Mammography

“This interesting and very readable book is split into four distinct sections covering all aspects of mammography … . This book is a comprehensive and essential guide for any radiographer wishing to perform mammography but will also appeal to any mammographer wishing to update themself on, or embark upon, breast advanced practice. I give this book my wholehearted recommendation and consider it essential for any bookshelf.” (Richard Dobrashian, RAD Magazine, September, 2023)

“The NHS Breast Screening Programme is currently undergoing conversion from analogue films to digital, the timing of this book is particularly apposite for UK readers. … for those techies out there who just feel more comfortable understanding the technology ‘under the bonnet’ or as a source of reference, this book is brilliant. … it would be a useful addition to your breast unit’s reference library … .” (David Green, RAD Magazine, March, 2011)

“The aim of this 209 page/13 chapter book is to introduce all the technical details, opportunities and problems related to the use of digital mammography (DM) to the reader. … The authors, all well known in their field of research and daily work, have produced a book which will be of help to all those who are using or will be using DM in the future, to provide the best diagnostic results in the endless fight against breast cancer.” (Giampiero Beluffi, La Radiologia Medica, Vol. 116, 2011)

“This is a brief but comprehensive overview of how the use of digital technique impacts the performance and interpretation of mammographic images. … The intended audience is radiologists in practice and radiology residents, as well as clinicians including gynecologists, oncologists, and breast surgeons. I would expand the intended audience to include mammography technologists, particularly those in supervisory positions and those tasked with quality assurance. … Overall, this is an excellent book, easy to read, and complete but concise.” (Dana Smetherman, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2012)

“The book provides a comprehensive description of most of the important aspects of digital mammography suitable for radiographers, film readers, radiologists and physicists. It should be a useful starting place for those being introduced to digital mammography systems, as well as a good summary of the current state of knowledge for those already involved in breast imaging.” (Rosemary Toye, RAD Magazine, July, 2012)
