Enhanced MRI and MRI-Guided Interventional Procedures in Women with Asymptomatic Silicone-Injected Breasts
Asymptomatic women who have received silicone injection for breast augmentation have a risk of underestimating breast cancer by palpation, mammography, or breast sonography. Enhanced breast MRI is sensitive to display certain nonspecific enhanced lesions or suspicious lesions. Such nonspecific MRI-d...

| Summary: | Asymptomatic women who have received silicone injection for breast
augmentation have a risk of underestimating breast cancer by
palpation, mammography, or breast sonography. Enhanced breast MRI
is sensitive to display certain nonspecific enhanced lesions or
suspicious lesions. Such nonspecific MRI-detected lesions could be
managed by American College Radiology BI-RADS lexicon and
selectively with MRI-guided techniques biopsy to prevent
unnecessary surgery. |
