摘要

This article describes the rationale and indications for breast implant-related magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, alone or in combination with breast cancer related MR imaging. Basic silicone chemistry, implant styles, and normal appearances of breast implants are described. The various presentations of breast implant rupture are described, and a 4-point staging scheme for intracapsular rupture is reviewed. Finally, a discussion of what the reviewing physician needs to know is presented, both before breast implant MR examinations are requested and afterward, when results are reported.
