DESCRIPTION:
Dr. Sonnenschein was also one of the first users of tomosynthesis-guided vaccum-assisted biopsy (T-VAB). He is a leading pioneer in the field: he integrated breast tomosynthesis into his daily practice and diagnostic workup as long ago as 2008 and organized the first workshop on the subject in the German-speaking countries in 2010. He then undertook a research fellowship at the University of Los Angeles, USA, focusing on radiopep
The findings obtained in the full range of benign and malignant conditions, including postoperative changes, are then presented with the aid of a wealth of high-quality illustrations from case examples. This superbly illustrated atlas of breast tomosynthesis covers all aspects and applications of the technology, which reduces tissue overlap and facilitates the recognition of small cancers. After clear explanation of basic principles of the technique, individual chapters address diagnostic criteria, indications, and use of breast tomosynthesis as a screening tool. The book concludes by examining tomosynthesis-guided interventions such as vacuum-assisted breast biopsy and galactography.. Detailed attention is paid to the BI-RADS classification, bearing in mind the ability of tomosynthesis to reduce categorizations as BI-RADS 3 and 0, thereby decreasing the recall rate
He has been intimately involved in implementing tomosynthesis at Engeried Hospital from 2008 onward and has also set up and overseen the SPECT/CT unit at Engeried. Sonnenschein was also one of the first users of tomosynthesis-guided vaccum-assisted biopsy (T-VAB). After undertaking residencies in Internal Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology, he became senior resident in the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology at Inselspital Bern and Sonnenhof AG, Bern and an Associate Partner in the Brunnhof Radiology Group. Dr. In 2009, Dr. Waldherr received his MD from Kiel Medical University, Germany, in 199
