Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Monitor Integrity of Silicone-Gel-Filled Breast Implants
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This policy addresses the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor the integrity of silicone-gel-filled breast implants (hereafter referred to as silicone implants). MRI to monitor for the rupture of silicone implants may be performed without contrast and is more sensitive and specific when a dedicated breast coil is used. Silicone-specific sequences are sometimes used. This policy does not address the injection of silicone into the breast.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Monitor Integrity of Silicone-Gel-Filled Breast Implants
On November 16, 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the marketing of silicone implants by Allergan Corp. (formerly named Inamed Corp.), Irvine, CA, and Mentor Corp., Santa Barbara, CA. These products were approved for use in breast reconstruction for women of all ages and for breast augmentation among women at least 22 years old. This decision followed 14 years during whi...

BACKGROUND Silicone gel breast implants may silently rupture without detection. This has been the main reason for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the augmented or reconstructed breast. The aim of the present study was to investigate the accuracy of MRI for implant rupture. METHODS Fifty consecutive patients with 85 silicone gel implants were included in the study. The mean age of the pati...

OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of implant integrity on clinical symptoms and antibody status in women with silicone breast implants (SBIs). METHODS Ninety consecutive women were examined by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the integrity of their silicone breast implants. The presence of silicone in the liver was estimated by (1)H localized stimulated echo acquisition mod...
متن کاملEvaluation of the rupture of silicone breast implants by mammography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in asymptomatic patients: correlation with surgical findings.
CONTEXT Different imaging methods can identify the integrity of breast implants and also the extent of possible silicone leakage. Mammography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are often used to evaluate the integrity of breast implants, usually in patients that are symptomatic for rupture. A group of clinically asymptomatic patients was taken as a sample. These patients wanted to ...
متن کاملBreast magnetic resonance imaging: tips for the diagnosis of silicone-induced granuloma of a breast implant capsule (SIGBIC)
Complications resulting from the placement of silicone breast implants are becoming more frequent in our clinical practice. This is due to the increase in breast aesthetic surgeries at the beginning of the century, where breast augmentation using silicone implants was the main intervention performed. Generally, studies that discuss the complications of breast implants are restricted to reports ...
