Breast Implant Imaging Evaluation

In this course, Dr. Xiaoqin Jennifer Wang (University of Kentucky) gives an overview of the history and types of breast implants, the appearances of normal and abnormal breast implants on MRI, ultrasound, and mammography, and ACR guidelines on breast implant imaging evaluation.

Dr. Wang also includes helpful breakdowns of treatment options, the most helpful MRI, Ultrasound, and Mammography imaging techniques to use & when to use them when evaluating breast implant complications, and her process for narrowing down a diagnosis by ruling out differentials.

Challenge yourself with Dr. Wang’s case review of common breast implant complications and test yourself to determine:

• The BI-RADS score for a woman who presented with palpable concern in the right breast?
• The most reliable sign of an intracapsular rupture or extracapsular rupture?
• Your diagnosis for a woman with bilateral breast pain and deformity? 
• The appropriate initial imaging evaluation for possible breast implant rupture? 
• The difference between saline implant and silicone implant in imaging?
• …and more!

After you’re done, check out these additional Breast Imaging Mastery Courses for further in-depth case review:

• Diagnostic Breast Imaging (Mammo, Tomo, Ultrasound)
• Breast MRI
• Fundamentals of Diagnostic Breast Imaging

Course materials were developed from Dr. Wang’s Case Review Live webinar in July 2021. The recorded session has been converted into this on-demand, microlearning Radiology CME Course that you can work through on your own time!
