This book aims at providing a strong foundation on tumors and cancer imaging for the resident and the expert performing ultrasound studies. At the same time, also referring oncologists and surgical oncologists that wish to become more expert in tumor imaging with ultrasound will develop a better understanding of the appropriate use of ultrasound investigations, i.e., when this diagnostic procedure is a valid alternative to other (more expensive) imaging modalities.
