Abstract
The imaging evaluation of the augmented breast is becoming more and more frequent in daily practice. Even if mammography remains the golden standard for breast cancer screening, ultrasound is used as a first step investigation in young symptomatic patients or as a screening tool in detecting pathology related to the implants. This pictorial essay reviews the indications and limitations of the imaging methods and illustrates the normal and pathological ultrasound findings in the augmented breast.Entities:
