@entity1 @entity1558 @entity5 @entity0
Augmentation mammaplasty has become more popular in Taiwan. Therefore, clinical imaging is necessary to evaluate those @entity1 who develop @entity0 . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the detection of @entity1558 after augmentation mammaplasty by means of mammography and sonography. A retrospective follow-up study and analysis of diagnostic methods including mammography, sonography, physical examination, and aspiration cytology was conducted on 105 @entity1 who underwent augmentation mammaplasty at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital between 1989 and 2001. A total of 105 @entity1 were identified in this study, and mean follow-up was 4 years. Two @entity5 from 8 @entity5 @entity1 were visible on standard mammograms, and seven @entity5 were diagnosed as @entity5 by sonography. One of 15 @entity0 was interpreted as a suspected @entity5 , and 7 @entity5 were interpreted as normal findings on mammograms. Fourteen of 15 @entity0 were diagnosed correctly except for one suspicious case examined by sonography. Sonography showed the highest rate of diagnostic accuracy (91.3%) and mammograms had the lowest rate (73.9%). The accuracy rate of physical examination was 73.9%, and aspiration cytology was 90.0% accurate. This study affirms that sonography is a more useful diagnostic tool than mammography in Taiwanese @entity1 who have undergone augmentation mammaplasty.
