Breast Imaging and Pathologic Correlations

Radiology- pathology correlation is the best way for radiologists to understand what is being represented by imaging. This will be a breast radiology-pathology atlas that is organized by BIRADS (Breast imaging and reporting data system) lexicon. A differential of diagnoses will be presented per imaging descriptor showing examples of possible pathologic entities. Most radiology-pathology atlases are organized by tumor types of benign and malignant entities.  This atlas will start with the imaging finding based on the BIRADS descriptors of breast imaging, then present possible diagnoses by showing many mammographic and/or sonographic and/or MRI examples. Alongside the imaging will be pathology images of those entities.

Key Features:

• Allows radiologist to see distinct pictures of the lesions that are in the differential as well as to teach a methodical approach to image analysis
• Approaches breast imaging from a differential diagnosis point of view based on image findings and correlates those differentials with pathologic images
• Each breast image is side by side with the pathology
• Organized by most common entities
• Radiology-pathology atlas organized by imaging findings, not tumor types
