Abstract
Good mammography in the augmented patient is often difficult to achieve. A case is described that illustrates that posterior breast tissue is generally better seen with standard compression mammography and that physical examination by the radiologist must accompany mammography. Implant displacement mammography, while helpful, does not eliminate the need for standard compression mammography in selected patients.
