Ultrasound examinations were performed on 25 women with augmented breasts using whole-breast water-path scanning. In these patients, ultrasound imaged carcinoma, benign lesions, and fibrous capsule formation; these were confirmed by surgery. In addition, it was noted that certain prostheses appeared to be displaced posteriorly onto the chest wall and some prostheses had internal echoes. To evaluate these findings, in vitro B-scanning was performed on three different commonly used mammary prostheses: the silicone gel, the saline inflatable, and the double-membrane gel-inflatable type. Ultrasound study of the augmented breast allowed evaluation of breast abnormalities in the parenchyma overlying the prostheses and also permitted evaluation of the complications unique to the implantation procedure: abscess formation, displacement of the implants, fibrous capsule formation, and wrinkles or cracks within the implant.
对25名隆乳女性进行了全乳水路径扫描的超声检查。在这些患者中，超声成像显示了癌、良性病变和纤维包膜形成；这些均经手术证实。此外，还注意到某些假体似乎向后移位至胸壁，一些假体有内部回声。为评估这些发现，对三种不同常用的乳房假体进行了体外B超扫描：硅胶凝胶型、盐水充注型和双膜凝胶充注型。隆乳的超声研究能够评估假体上方实质内的乳房异常情况，还能评估植入手术特有的并发症：脓肿形成、植入物移位、纤维包膜形成以及植入物内的皱纹或裂缝。
