Abstract
Imaging a breast that has had cancer and been reconstructed has inherent problems, mostly because the reconstruction and the implant may be obscuring recurrence. It should, therefore, be emphasized that such patients require frequent follow-up. Perhaps every 6 months they also need skillful palpation as well as mammography with proper techniques that image as much of breast tissue as possible with the implant displaced as much as possible.
