1 Current status and future implications of ultrasound in the context of implant-based breast aesthetic and reconstructive surgery -- 2 An evidence-based approach to an implant-based mammoplasty -- 3 Role of ultrasound in the implant-based aesthetic and reconstructive mammoplasty -- 4 Distinguishing various type of breast implant using high resolution ultrasonography -- 5 Usefulness of high-resolution ultrasound in detecting complications of an implant-based mammoplasty -- 6 Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma -- 7 Usefulness of high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) in planning revision or reoperation for patients receiving an implant-based augmentation mammoplasty -- 8 Clinical presentations -- 9 Conclusions.

This atlas is the first book on the use of high-resolution ultrasound to assess breast implants and identify the various potential breast implant-related complications, which are frequently asymptomatic. The aim is to provide radiologists, breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and other medical staff with a comprehensive guide of high clinical value during not only the diagnostic but also the treatment process. To this end, a wealth of ultrasound images and videos are presented, along with surgical photos and videos and pathological findings. The coverage includes the role of ultrasound in the management of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell carcinoma, with explanation of its value in distinguishing the type of implant shell, which is highly relevant in this disease. A concluding chapter presents a large series of instructive cases. The author has extensive experience in breast surgery and has been collecting implant-related data using high-resolution ultrasound, including data on the diagnosis of side effects, for more than a decade. .
