Abstract
The opinions of the group on fat injected around the breasts have been requested. The opinions included that the imaging has improved to the level that it is no longer an issue, insurance does not cover the procedure, articles have been written about doing the procedure and so far no major problems have occurred, malignant calcifications can almost always be distinguished from benign calcifications in the breast, and needle biopsy is a relatively simple procedure for the radiologist.
