Beschreibung

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer of women in the
western hemisphere.
This book presents a new imaging modality of the breast
which improves the possibilities of mammography at a very
high level: Cancers can be detected at a very early stage
y
MRM. The huge number ofbreast biopsies can be reduced
dramatically. Even tiny breast cancers (e.g.3mm) can be
detected. The prognosis for women with breast cancer will
improve due to earlier detection.

Zusammenfassung

To date, mammography has been the only effectve procedure in the diagnosis of breast cancer. However, due to its failure to detect small cancers and the recording of many false positive findings, a reliable alternative is needed. MRM, an imaging modality with a high accuracy rate, will become the method to choose in the future for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
