The importance of arterial and lymphatic anatomy is not explained. Throughout, the use of mammographic examples is sparse. Early in the presentation, an unsupported bias toward xeromammography is demonstrated. Although the anatomic presentation is adequate and effective, its correlation to mammography requires individual supplementation.The primary physiological purpose of the breast is to provide nutrition for the infant.
