With an increasing number of women undergoing breast augmentation and later presenting with breast symptoms, radiologists need to be familiar with the different imaging appearances. Mammography and ultrasonography is one of the first steps in the diagnostic workup of a woman who presents with breast symptoms. In the absence of typical features of implant rupture, however, further evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging is often necessary to determine implant integrity and complications or to detect a possibly malignant lesion.

隆胸和術後併發症的磁共振成像：圖文回顧
