Synopsis

An authoritative and up-to-date discussion of digital mammography fundamentals

The newly revised second edition of Digital Mammography: Physics and Instrumentation delivers an expert discussion of all things digital mammography. From an explanation of how mammography plays an important role in cancer detection and treatment to practical discussions of mammography image formation, you’ll find analysis of the most recent advances in digital breast tomosynthesis and photon counting mammography.

Readers will also discover:

• Complete treatments of mammographic instrumentation and physics
• A thorough introduction to image quality optimization techniques
• Comprehensive explorations of new artificial intelligence applications in mammography
• Valuable information about how radiation dose is relevant to patient safety and diagnostics

Perfect for mammography radiologic technologists and diagnostic radiographers, Digital Mammography: Physics and Instrumentation will also benefit breast clinicians, trainee radiologists, and students of medical imaging and radiography.
