Imaging in Management of Breast Diseases, Volume I: Overview of Modalities

In the rapidly evolving field of breast imaging, clinical perspectives are essential for understanding the role of diagnostics in patient management of breast imaging. No longer is it enough to understand the technologies available to us. Understanding the adoption and limitations of use worldwide is needed to truly appreciate the implications for patient care, and that is where this book delivers. 

A unique strength of this volume is its global perspective. Recognising disparities in healthcare infrastructure worldwide, the authors address the limitations of advancing technology in resource-constrained settings. The disproportion between the higher incidence of perimenopausal cancer in Asian countries compared to post-menopausal in Western ones, with the widening mortality gap and access to treatments, calls for a global response.

This volume is an essential resource for radiologists and radiographers, while also offering valuable insights for oncologists, surgeons and pathologists, among others engaged in breast care. 

The book systematically explores each major imaging modality: mammography, ultrasound, MRI and emerging technologies such as molecular imaging, providing technical detail with clinical context. The comprehensive multimodal approach is combined with an integration of pathological and clinical perspectives, recognising the multidisciplinary approach to breast disease management. Complex concepts are made accessible without over-simplification, incorporating real-life case examples. The imaging findings are integrated with pathological results, enabling the reader to understand the complexities of management and how future advancing technologies may benefit patient care.

Therefore, the book would make a great teaching resource for all students involved in breast care but would also act as a stand-alone reference for emerging technologies. 

In an era of technological advancements, where AI and contrast-enhanced mammography pave the way for a future of personalised tailored screenings, this book brings much-needed grounding to the reader with respect to the ongoing worldwide crisis that leaves many without access to even standard diagnostic mammography. 

Together, the editors have curated a resource that is a testament to their extensive experience and dedication to advancing breast disease management through a multimodal and multi-disciplinary approach. With their combined expertise and a clear, engaging style, the authors make this volume an indispensable guide for anyone committed to excellence in breast imaging and patient care.
