Mammography and Breast Implants
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1988Recent recommendations by the American Cancer Society have focused attention on the value of screening mammography in the detection of occult breast cancers.

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2005
Infection is the leading cause of morbidity that occurs after breast implantation and complicates 2.0-2.5% of interventions in most case series. Two-thirds of infections develop within the acute post-operative period, whereas some infections may develop years or even decades after surgery.

The Breast Implant Controversy
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1994The breast implant issue is a "bad news/good news" story. For many women with implants, the controversy has caused a fair degree of anxiety which may or may not be resolved as further information becomes available. It has also taken its toll on Dow Corning.

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2004
Breast implants have been used for about four decades for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes. In 1963, the quality of the artificial implants was revolutionized by the introduction of the silicone gel-filled implant. Since, this modern prosthesis has gone through an evolution of change and improvement with several types of devices with many ...

Mammography and breast implants [PDF]
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1995 Mammography in the presence of breast implants is complicated by the opacity of the implants, the displacement of breast tissue by the implant, and the presence of secondary changes such as calcification within a fibrous capsule. A special technique of mammography, known as the displacement technique, has been developed by Eklund in the USA, where it ...
