"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 over 300 images not found in the book. Included on the CD are a searchable breast implant catalogue, color versions of eleven color-critical black-and-white images found in the book, and AVI movie files of MR imaging studies from the book.
