Popis:	There are two reasons for radiologic evaluation of the augmented breast. Because women with implants are at the same risk for breast cancer as other women, imaging is performed to screen for cancer or to work up clinical abnormalities. Additionally, imaging allows assessment of implant integrity. The various methods for imaging implants and breast tissue in the augmented patient are discussed. Imaging findings suggestive of silicone gel implant rupture are presented.
