Abstract:
Objective To analyze MRI appearance after augmentation mammoplasty,and to assess the clinical value.Methods Sixty-three cases with augmentation mammoplasty were imaged by MR scanner.MR imaging features of silicone implant and injected implant were analyzed respectively.Results(80 breasts) in 40 patients were with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection.In 50 breasts,the implants were shown as irregular gel in mammary gland,pectoralis muscle,and subcutaneous tissue.Auto-fat injection in both side of breast was performed in 7 cases.Among them,fibrofatty mass was detected in 12 breasts,fat-fluid interface was seen in 6 breasts,and fat in pectoralis major was revealed in 6 breasts.Silicone implant in both side of breast was performed in 16 cases.2 breasts in 2 case were detected as saline-filled implants with intracapsular rupture.14 cases were with silicone gel-filled implants,among them,4 breasts were found to have extracapsular rupture and 10 breasts intracapsular rupture.Conclusion MRI is a perfect method in accessing the patients with augmentation mammoplasty.
