The breast containing an augmentation implant presents a challenge to the mammographer and is often considered unsuitable for adequate mammographic evaluation. A modified positioning technique is described. By displacing the implant posteriorly against the chest wall and pulling breast tissue over and in front of the implant, marked improvement in compression and visualization of substantially more breast tissue is achieved. Over 250 patients with augmentation implants have been successfully studied with this modified compression technique. After review of 50 consecutive cases, two experienced mammographers confirmed a significant improvement in image quality, amount of breast tissue visualized, and overall benefit of the modified technique. Modified positioning for women with breast implants substantially improves both image quality and amount of breast tissue imaged.
对于含有隆乳植入物的乳房，乳腺钼靶检查面临挑战，通常被认为不适于进行充分的钼靶评估。本文描述了一种改良的定位技术。通过将植入物向后推移使其紧贴胸壁，并将乳腺组织拉到植入物上方和前方，在压迫和观察更多乳腺组织方面取得了显著改善。超过250例有隆乳植入物的患者已通过这种改良压迫技术成功进行了检查。在回顾连续50例病例后，两名经验丰富的乳腺钼靶检查人员确认，改良技术在图像质量、可观察到的乳腺组织量以及总体效益方面均有显著改善。对有乳房植入物的女性采用改良定位可显著提高图像质量和成像的乳腺组织量。
