[The ultrasonic diagnosis of breast prosthesis implanted after operative treatment of tumors or augmentation plastic of the breast (author's transl)].
The ultrasonic diagnosis as a method of recognising postoperative subprosthetical breast pathological changes (respectively of simulated tumor recidivs and implanted breast prosthesis) located near the thorax and therefore difficult to detect by external palpation and mammography examination have been described in a follow-up study, and further possibilities of application suggested.
