Ultrasonography in the screening of augmented breasts’ cancer

L. Bălăceanu, C. Diaconu, G. Aron


Abstract: In recent years the number of breast augmentation surgical procedures increased and the presence of breast implant makes difficult the early detection of breast cancer. In the case of dense breasts with implant, regardless of the patient's age, ultrasonography is the first recommended method for screening. The present review reveales the fact that ultrasonography plays an important role not only in verifying the integrity of the implant capsule, but also in the assessment of the lesions of the native breast tissue.
