Breast Implant Imaging is the first definitive reference on the use of MR imaging, ultrasound, and mammography to detect breast implant failure. The book details the capabilities and limitations of each modality, the imaging features of various implant types, the signs of implant rupture and soft-tissue silicone, and the pitfalls and artifacts encountered. Coverage includes a chapter on breast cancer imaging in patients who have had implants or silicone fluid injections. More than 600 illustrations complement the text.
A bound-in CD-ROM contains a catalogue of normal appearances of 1,500 styles of implants--plus color images...videos of two breast cancer cases...and photographs of implants.
