The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To review imaging changes on breast MRI after interventions such as biopsy, lumpectomy, mastectomy with reconstruction, breast conservation surgery, and radiation therapy. 2. To demonstrate the importance of recognizing benign post-therapeutic imaging findings to try to avoid additional imaging or biopsy and to recognize true recurrences and distinguish them from post radiation and post surgical changes. 3. To review the mammographic and ultrasound appearance of the same benign and malignant findings as seen on MRI.    

Imaging appearance of post-therapeutic changes on MRI with ultrasound and mammographic correlation. Review imaging findings of infection, fluid collections, fat necrosis, scar, hematoma, seroma, implant rupture, implant gel leak, recurrence and radiation induced changes. Present cases of these benign and malignant post-therapeutic MRI findings with mammographic and ultrasound correlate in order to review the different imaging appearances.
