[3-Dimensional reconstruction of MR hydrography in patients after polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for augmentation
1Department of Plastic Surgery, Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, Nanjing 210004, China.
Objective:
To investigate the diagnosis method in the patients after polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammoplasty for preoperative surgical design.
Methods:
3-dimensional reconstruction of Magnetic resonance hydrography (MRH) was performed on patients after polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammoplasty. The images were observed to understand the distribution and location of hydrogel. The operation was performed and guided by the images results.
Results:
7 patients underwent MRH examination and 6 cases received operation. The distribution and location of hydrogel was consistent with the MRH results.
Conclusions:
The distribution of hydrogel can be displayed clearly by 3D MRH reconstruction technique,and it is helpful to remove the hydrogel completely.
