Imaging Surveillance After Breast-Conserving Surgery for Cancer With Acellular Dermal Matrix Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate postoperative imaging findings of patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for cancer and reconstruction with MegaDerm^® (sheet-type and pellet-type), analyzing false positives and recurrences, using multi-modality images.

Materials and methods

This study included 201 women (age range: 28-81 years, mean age ± standard deviation: 53.2 ± 8.6 years) who underwent breast-conserving surgery and immediate reconstruction with MegaDerm^®. Post-surgery, each patient underwent at least one mammography (MG), ultrasonography (US), and MRI, totaling 713 MG, 1063 US, and 607 MRI examinations. Postoperative images were reviewed separately for the two types of MegaDerm^®, and suspicious imaging findings
