[Using of shadow-picture ultrasonography in the following-up of breast bulging operation].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the significance of using high-frequency 2-dimonsional ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography in the following-up of breast bulging operation.


METHODS
7-11 MHz high-frequency 2-dimonsional ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography were used on 18 patients, whose one or two breasts had abnormal symptom after breast bulging operation.


RESULTS
Implants or blood swelling which took on a bag have no or low echo district, its margin is clear, regular and has a clear boundary line with the tissue around breast. The breaking and oozing, outing, moving, infection of implants, blood swelling, and sclerosis of wrapping membrane after breast bulging operation have special 2-dimonsional voice picture and the tissue around it has more or less color blood picture and Doppler frequency expression.


CONCLUSIONS
Technique of shadow-picture Ultrasonography has great diagnose value and clinical significance in the detection of complications after breast bulging operation.
