Summary: | Breast augmentation and breast reconstruction are increasingly common operations. All radiologists need to be able to recognize the normal appearances of the more commonly used implants on various imaging modalities and breast radiologists in particular are facing new challenges when imaging the women involved. This work aims to review the normal and abnormal findings in women undergoing breast implant surgery using ultrasonography, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
Gli interventi chirurgici additivi e di ricostruzione della mammella sono sempre più comuni. Tutti i radiologi dovrebbero essere in grado di riconoscere, attraverso le varie metodiche, il normale aspetto delle protesi mammarie più spesso utilizzate; in particolar modo i radiologi che si occupano di diagnostica senologica. Scopo di questo lavoro è quello di ricapitolare gli aspetti radiologici, normali e patologici delle protesi mammarie, agli esami ecografici, mammografici e di risonanza magnetica. |
