  • Imagerie du sein

    • 1st Edition
    • Joseph Stinès
    • French
    L'imagerie du sein est une discipline où les pratiques ont beaucoup évolué ces dernières années en raison de la généralisation du dépistage organisé, de la prise en compte plans cancer sous la supervision de l'INCa. Le moment était donc venu d'essayer de synthétiser dans un seul ouvrage l'essentiel des connaissances et des recommandations pratiques en matière d'imagerie du sein à la lumière des connaissances actuelles et des recommandations nombreuses qui encadrent la pratique de la sénologie. Cet ouvrage se veut didactique, susceptible de guider le débutant mais aussi de conforter le sénologue confirmé dans ses connaissances. Il a recours à de nombreux tableaux, schémas, dessins et arbres diagnostics. Très complet il couvre tous les aspects de l'imagerie mammaire de l'incontournable mammographie aux explorations isotopiques et aux techniques les plus récentes encore en évaluation. L'ouvrage est composé de trois parties : la technique et la sémiologie ; le cancer du sein ; les pathologies bénignes. Très richement illustré, l'ouvrage permet de confronter dans une même figure des images de techniques différentes. Elles rendent compte de l'évolution de la pratique sénologique qui nécessite de plus en plus une synthèse entre les différentes sources d'information dont nous pouvons disposer.
