Breast reconstruction with a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap: spectrum of normal and abnormal MR imaging findings.

The authors retrospectively reviewed their clinical database for cases of breast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging performed in women who had undergone breast reconstruction with a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap. Patient histories, MR imaging results, and, when available, biopsy results were reviewed. During a 4-year period, 24 neobreasts were imaged in 22 women who had undergone TRAM flap reconstruction after mastectomy.
