The Third International Copenhagen Symposium on Detection of Breast Cancer brought together scientists globally to share vital research on breast cancer and early diagnostic methods. Attendees learned from extensive screening programs at leading centers in the U.S., Sweden, the Netherlands, and England. The Symposium explored new techniques such as ultrasonography, magnification methods, and magnetic resonance imaging, alongside significant discussions on self-examination, fine needle aspiration biopsy, and radiation risks. A dedicated section highlighted the essential collaboration among radiologists, surgeons, and pathologists. This volume aims to inspire readers to engage in the fight against breast cancer. December 1986 S. Brunner B. Langfeldt Contents include B. Nielsen on image quality in mammography, S. A. Feig and colleagues on clinical considerations for dedicated mammography units, E. A. Sickles discussing the role of magnification techniques, and insights on imaging capabilities and dose considerations from Galkin et al. Additionally, A. G. Haus covers recent trends in screen-film mammography, addressing technical factors and radiation dose.
