Description
Book SynopsisThis atlas is the first book on the use of high-resolution ultrasound to assess breast implants and identify the various potential breast implant-related complications, which are frequently asymptomatic. The aim is to provide radiologists, breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and other medical staff with a comprehensive guide of high clinical value during not only the diagnostic but also the treatment process. To this end, a wealth of ultrasound images and videos are presented, along with surgical photos and videos and pathological findings. The coverage includes the role of ultrasound in the management of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell carcinoma, with explanation of its value in distinguishing the type of implant shell, which is highly relevant in this disease. A concluding chapter presents a large series of instructive cases. The author has extensive experience in breast surgery and has been collecting implant-related data using high-resolution ultrasound, including data on the diagnosis of side effects, for more than a decade.
Trade Review“The book is essential reading, acting as a useful student resource, but will also provide guidance and up-to-date information, ideal as a departmental reference to all experienced practitioners involved in breast imaging. The text is presented in nine sections, each with a clear overview and related references. … this is a very advanced and honest resource, accumulating over a decade’s worth of experience. … the book presents a worthwhile investment to all breast imaging departments.” (Joleen Kirsty Eden, RAD Magazine, January, 2023)
