Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to improve the detection of complications in silicone breast implants using advanced MRI techniques, comparing chemical shift encoding (CSE) imaging to traditional double inversion recovery (DIR) imaging.
- The research involved 71 women and showed that CSE imaging provided clearer images of silicone implants and adjacent tissues, with 96% of patients receiving improved visualization compared to DIR.
- Results indicated that CSE imaging not only facilitated better detection of implant ruptures but also demonstrated higher contrast-to-noise ratios, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for clinicians in monitoring breast implant integrity.
Objectives: The four-dimensional ultrasound (4D-US) enables imaging of the aortic segment and simultaneous determination of the wall expansion. The method shows a high spatial and temporal resolution, but its in vivo reliability is so far unknown for low-measure values. The present study determines the intraobserver repeatability and interobserver reproducibility of 4D-US in the atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic infrarenal aorta.
