Mammographic Imaging: A Practical Guide is the definitive, and only comprehensive, text in mammography for radiologic technology and mammographic technology. Revised to include new content on the increasingly common fundamental technology in digital mammography, this book is a must-have resource for technologists who need to stay current in breast imaging, as well as students preparing to enter the field. A new, dynamic two-color design helps to more clearly outline the topics covered, while new pedagogical features and ancillaries make this edition ideal as a core education resource. A companion website includes a registry exam-style question bank, image bank, PowerPoints, and case studies/situational judgment questions, plus instructor resources such as PowerPoint slides, lesson plans, an image bank, a test bank, and answers to the case studies/situational judgment questions.

The rationale for my rating is as follows: (1) The text is somewhat difficult to follow (i.e., chapter topics do not flow well in the body of the text; one has to constantly jump around), particularly when trying to find answers to study questions and (2) The images are both numerous and well done and, thus, very beneficial. If the text would have been as well balanced as the images, I would have rated it higher. As such, if you are looking for less textual flow, but more images (i.e., if you are more of a visual oriented learner), then this is a good textbook to have.
I reviewed this book from the perspective of learning about the physics and technology used in mammography equipment, as well as the background to screening, positioning, supplementary views, difficult positioning situations. It is well written- readable for a professional mammographer. There are excellent explanations, diagrams and photos, the progression of topics and linking made sense to me- and up is to date. The section on future developments was also up to date. Overall, I would recommend this book for a professional radiographer/ mammographer who knows about mammography, wants to learn and understand more about the digital technology and also about mammography.
I am taking Mammography to specialize. This book is great and it was used when I got it but did take very good care of it. Anyone that is wanting to got to school to be a mammo tech will benefit from this book.
While going to school for my Associate Degree in Radiology I had the opportunity to take mammography classes to benefit my career. This is one of the books I needed and still have it to this day, I graduated in 2008. Good and informative book.
This book came in great shape and was exactly what I needed. It goes into detail about everything you know to become a successful mammography technologist. I would definitley recommend this book to anyone who wants to become a mammo tech.
It is very difficult to find a textbook that encompasses all the curriculum criteria, with useful and attractive graphics and the latest information for our mammography program. We gave this text a try because it seemed to cover the information we desired. The positioning graphics were so terrible, they were an embarrassment. We used the graphics as an example of "how NOT to" position. Pathetic. The search continues...
The Mammographic imaging book Is probably the best of the three books I purchased for my mammography class. Book is very detailed but understandable for the beginner mammography student!
Please don not spend a dime on this book. The author speaks in riddles and all information is scattered thoughout the book. Just the facts PLEASE ! There other books on this list that are simple,state the facts and you can actually retain it.. All the Books by Olive Peart are pretty good.. Those ones helped me pass my test...
