Description

This book will focus on Screening Mammography, Economic Issues in Breast Imaging and New Technologies in Breast Imaging. Topics that will be addressed include strategies for improved delivery of screening services to inaccessible and minority populations, the status of breast cancer screening in Eastern Europe, China and Taiwan, how clinicians should discuss screening with younger women and with women at high risk for breast cancer. World-renowned authorities will review the most recent literature on digital mammography, sentinel node biopsy, percutaneous needle biopsy and telemammography, as well as other emerging technologies. The cost impact of increased federal regulation of mammography and the wide application of low-cost, low-reimbursement screening will also be discussed.
