Breast Reconstruction and Body Map : Assessment by Functional MRI (REMASCO)

Breast reconstruction is an integral part of the management of patients with breast cancer and treated by total mastectomy. The aim of breast reconstruction is to get a satisfying aesthetic and functional result (sensitivity) and that would enable the patient to appropriate the reconstructed breast. Patient satisfaction assessed subjectively by questionnaires would be better in autologous reconstructions than in reconstructions by prosthesis. The aim of our trial is to use functional MRI (fMRI) as an objective evaluation tool to describe the brain functional changes of sensory projections after immediate or secondary breast reconstruction.
