The imaging appearance of implantable loop recorders (ILR's) have been described in literature (Steinberger and Margolies, 2017; Mayo and Leung, 2017; Tsau and Berger, 2004); however, the mammographic appearance of the BioMonitor ILR produced by BIOTRONIK has not been described. It is important for radiologists interpreting breast imaging to become familiar with the appearance of different implantable cardiac devices on mammograms in order to create accurate reports and adjust imaging protocols to improve imaging quality and lessen patient discomfort as needed.
植入式环路记录器(ILR)的影像学表现已在文献中描述(Steinberger 和 Margolies,2017;Mayo 和 Leung,2017;Tsau 和 Berger,2004);然而,BIOTRONIK 生产的 BioMonitor ILR 的乳房 X 线摄影表现尚未描述。对于解释乳腺影像学的放射科医生来说,熟悉不同的植入式心脏设备在乳房 X 线照片上的表现是很重要的,以便做出准确的报告,并根据需要调整成像方案,以提高成像质量和减轻患者不适。
