With the increased incidence of cancer and a similarly increased number of surgeries for insertion of silicone breast implants, it is necessary to assess the effect of such material within the breast tissue, particularly in mammography, because of the reduction in the power of breast cancer diagnosis. In this work, we introduce a breast phantom with silicone implants in order to evaluate the in...

متن کاملEvaluation of the Rupture of Silicone Breast Implants by Mammography
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacies of mammography, sonography and MR imaging in the detection of breast implant rupture of an asymptomatic population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We prospectively evaluated 83 breast implants in 44 asymptomatic patients who subsequently had implants removed by a surgeon to determine sensitivity and specificity of mammography, ultrasono...
