Abstract

Various treatment effects and implants related to the skin and subcutaneous tissues can be encountered on neuroimaging. Examples include staples, tissue expanders, Mohs micrographic surgery, grafts, radiation therapy, cosmetic and reconstructive fillers and implants, and complications that can result, such as tumor recurrence, as well as Gadolinium-based contrast agents and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. This chapter reviews the imaging findings of these particular topics.
