Learning objectives Breast prosthesis surgery is one of the most performed aesthetic procedures. About 80% of breast implants are for cosmetic augmentation, while about 20% are for breast reconstruction following mastectomy.We will focus on the role of imaging in describing abnormal findings of breast implants in magnetic resonance (MR), mammography (MG), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and PET-CT.This poster reviews the most important imaging findings of prosthetic rupture (intracapsular and extracapsular) and periprosthetic collections, two of the most frequent complications. We will...
Read more Background Cases of different complications were retrospectively collected, and MR, MG, US and CT images of patients with such complications were reviewed.
Read more Findings and procedure details Because of its soft-tissue contrast and the ability to suppress signal, noncontrast MR is the imaging modality of choice to evaluate the integrity of breast implants and related complications.The latest edition (fifth edition) of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) provides a systematic outline for the evaluation of breast implants with MR and includes descriptions of implant materials and lumen types, implant locations, abnormal implant contours, peri-implant fluid, intracapsular findings, water droplets, and extracapsular silicone. There are different types,...
Read more Conclusion As radiologists, we should know how to identify and diagnose breast implant complications. MR is the gold standard for evaluating breast implants because of its soft-tissue contrast and the ability to suppress signals; however, some complications can be detected in other imaging tests.
