Abstract
Breast augmentation and breast reconstruction, either immediate or delayed, 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 article aims to review the normal and abnormal findings in women who have had breast augmentation and reconstruction, including implant insertion and reconstruction by autologous myocutaneous flaps.
