The book is unique in that it pertains exclusively to percutaneous image-guided breast procedures with a patient-centered focus. Each image modality will be discussed in a separate chapter - ultrasound, mammography, and MRI. Also included is a dedicated chapter focusing on the novel technique of digital breast tomosynthesis-guided procedures. To conclude the book, there is a chapter devoted to radiology/pathology concordance with lesion management. This is an ideal guide for practicing radiologists and physicians in training.

Report
"This is a concise, informative and well illustrated read. The book is easy to navigate and understand. It would be a useful introduction to interventional breast procedures as well as a go-to book for the more experienced breast interventional practitioner."
