Multimodality Imaging of the Postmastectomy Breast
Breast reconstruction after mastectomy may use implants or the patient's own tissue. Imaging plays a key role in checking for complications and detecting cancer recurrence, which often appears in the skin or tissue near the surgery site. Imaging professionals must understand reconstruction techniques to tell normal healing from cancer return.
