Abstract:
Use of a three-dimensional CT scan as an adjunct for planning chest-wall and breast reconstruction in Poland's syndrome is presented with follow-up MRI with three-dimensional reformation to demonstrate the results of the implant reconstruction. The imaging techniques are capable of accurately portraying the three-dimensional tissue deficit and asymmetry. This imaging may assist in the choice of muscle transposition flaps and reconstructive technique.
