Abstract: MRI yields cross-sectional image acquisition in multiple
planes with very high contract 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 m*****. Anatomic relation****ps of abnormalities and normal
structures are well seen. In some situations, MRI may offer clinically
relevant information not adequately addressed by other imaging
modalities.
