Digital Mammography

This book aims to be a comprehensive evidenced-based technical manual describing all aspects of screening and symptomatic mammographic imaging

There will be user-friendly photographic illustrations of mammographic techniques to demonstrate techniques to help busy clinical practitioners and trainees

The book will provide detailed generic descriptions and explanations of state of the art digital mammographic equipment currently used

Description:

This book offers a single publication to be utilised comprehensively as a reference manual within current mammographic clinical practice for use by assistant practitioners and practitioners as well as trainees in radiography and related disciplines.

In recent years mammographic clinical practice and technology have evolved rapidly and become increasingly sophisticated, this book will cover these issues. The public feel increasingly empowered to ‘have a say’ in their care and expectations of their mammography experience is high. Consequently a well-trained, well-informed practitioner is of paramount importance in clinical practice today.

This book addresses patient/client-related issues in the form of psychological and emotional support they may require. This will enable the reader to gain insight into the patient/client perspective and thereby assist in meeting their needs.
