Abstract
MRI yields cross-sectional image acquisition in multiple planes with very high contrast resolution. Additionally, in MRI of the breast, evaluation of the entire implant is possible. Not only is MRI very sensitive to loss of implant integrity and rupture, but also MRI can evaluate and characterize adjacent fluid collections or soft-tissue masses. Anatomic relationships of abnormalities and normal structures are well seen. In some situations, MRI may offer clinically relevant information not adequately addressed by other imaging modalities.
