Created from decellularized dermal tissues that have been treated to remove DNA and antigenic donor cells (leaving extracellular matrix), ADM is often used as a structural scaffold or sling to reinforce and support the structure and position of a breast implant during postoperative integration in implant-based breast reconstruction; ADM can also be used to fill cosmetic defects. Advantages of ADM use include improved cosmesis and reduced capsular contracture rates. On US, ADM can be seen as a subtle band with variable echogenicity adjacent to the implant. When folded on itself or redundant, ADM may present as a palpable oval mass with indistinct or circumscribed margins and variable echogenicity. On mammography, ADM can be seen as a circumscribed oval equal density mass when redundant and folded on itself; a layered appearance may be evident on tomosynthesis. On MRI, presence and absence of enhancement have been documented. Imaging findings likely vary depending on the degree of host tissue remodeling and incorporation, and when biopsied, histopathologically, ADM may be difficult to distinguish from scarring.

Over the past few decades, a shift in the U.S. health care system toward value-based care has placed a priority on health services topics. Health services research has been central to the evolution of breast imaging over this period, with increased emphasis placed on the following: (1) design of appropriate-use criteria for imaging services; (2) determination of cost-effectiveness of imaging protocols and screening regimens guiding policy; and (3) evaluation of policy related to reimbursement for diagnostic imaging and image-guided procedures. Examples of HSR topics that can be applied directly to breast imaging include evaluation of health care availability and accessibility, analysis of health care use patterns, exploration of patient preferences, assessment of technological innovation, development and implementation of clinical practice guidelines and screening strategies, and examination of health care organization and delivery models. Breast imaging radiologists who perform HSR are uniquely positioned to advocate for patients, to promote transformative health care interventions, and to influence policy changes and public health initiatives in breast imaging through analysis of health care data and translation of their research findings.
