“…There was no special preparation on the MSCT Thorax examination of breast cancer cases but patients were asked to change the clothes that had been provided. During the examination, the patient does not use metal tools that may interfere with the radiograph image (Gossner, 2016). According to (Bhalla et al, 2019) examinations that use contrast media should use fasting 6 hours before the examination is carried out and laboratory checks (ureum cratinin within normal limits), this is the same as explaining routine examination techniques according to (Wijokongko et al , 2016) which requires laboratory examination (the latest results of cratinin ureum within normal limits i.e.…”

“…In addition, setting parameters, it is certain that the upper limit of the pulmonary Apex and the lower limit of the diaphragm enter the examination area and then the scanning process continues. The patient's position according to journal 2 (Gossner, 2016) is that the patient is positioned as comfortable as possible, with the body position in the middle of the examination table, both hands above the head, the upper limit of the pulmonary apex and the inferior lower limit of the hepar. The patient is instructed to remain silent during the examination and immediately signal if experiencing discomfort, so that the officer will immediately stop the examination.…”

Background: The protocol for MSCT Thorax examination is axial/coronal/sagittal. The slice thickness parameter has an important role in examining MSCT Thorax in breast cancer cases using contrast media. The thinner the slice thickness, the better the detailed image obtained. The aim of this study is to explain the MSCT Thorax examination procedure in breast cancer cases using positive contrast media, the role of slice thickness in diagnosis and to find out diagnostic information on the MSCT Thorax examination in cancer cases breast. Methods: This type of research is qualitative with a literature study approach. The data were obtained by identifying the problem then looking for keywords, namely MSCT Thorax, Slice thickness, breast cancer. Literature reviews are carried out through journal search engine searches, such as: Google Scholar, American Journal Rontgenology (AJR), Pubmed, Proquest. The collected journals are reduced based on inclusion criteria so that 3 relevant journals are obtained then analyzed descriptively so that they can answer the objectives to be drawn conclusions. Results: The results of a literature study show that the MSCT Thorax examination procedure in cases of breast cancer using contrast media is fasting 6 hours before the examination, laboratory checks (urea cratinin within normal limits), releasing all metals in the body, CT scan plane, fixation tools, blankets. , contrast media, injector set. Conclusion: Contrast media dosage 1-2 ml / kg body weight, flow rate 2-4 ml / s, concentration 300-350 mgl / ml, patient position supine feet first, upper limit of lung Apex and lower limit of diaphragm (depending on needs), axial cut, coronal, sagittal, the parameters used were kV, mAs, slice thickness, matrix, WW, WL. A thin slice thickness will provide more accurate diagnostic information and a clear picture of metastases and small lesions can be seen.

“…Thirdly, in contrast to other screening studies, the number of incidental breast lesions reported in our dataset is relatively high; 8 out of 232 participants (3%), versus 1% mentioned in literature. [34] This could have been caused by the fact that our cohort consisted of women with a younger age when compared to the other screening studies, with densely glandular breast tissue that might have been reported as suspicious breast masses. Furthermore, CT without intravenous contrast makes it more difficult to distinguish lesions from dense glandular tissue.…”

Breast augmentation with implants is frequently performed. Therefore breast implants can be seen quite frequently on computed tomography (CT) of the body. This offers the possibility to detect incidental pathology and help to improve patient outcome. Basic knowledge about imaging findings of breast implants on CT is therefore needed for radiologists reporting body CT. CT may also be used for further workup of breast implants if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is contraindicated or not available. The purpose of this pictorial review is to give a brief overview of normal and pathologic findings of breast implants on CT.
