Retrospective study on the strength of magnetic resonance signs for predicting breast implant rupture: assessing the impact of radiologist expertise at a breast cancer referral center.
Radiol Med
December 2024
Breast Imaging Division, IEO European Institute of Oncology IRCCS, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses how well MRI can diagnose breast implant ruptures and the effect of radiologist experience on accuracy.
- - It involved 118 patients who had implant surgeries, finding that expert radiologists detected ruptures with much greater accuracy compared to less experienced ones.
- - The results highlight the need for specialized training in radiology to enhance diagnostic precision, prompting a recommendation for updated radiological guidelines.
Photon-counting CT of degenerative changes and rupture of silicone breast implants: a pilot study.
Eur Radiol Exp
March 2024
Department of Radiology, Medical Center - University of Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) in assessing silicone breast implants, focusing on their properties and the ability to detect issues like ruptures and degenerative changes.
- Researchers included patients with silicone implants and MRI, using a consensus reading of all images as the standard for comparison.
- Results showed that PCCT has high accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity for identifying different conditions related to silicone implants, suggesting it could enhance clinical management of these devices.

The linguine sign is a radiologic sign seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that indicates intracapsular rupture of silicone breast implants. It refers to multiple curvilinear lines that appear on MRI, representing the outline of the elastomeric shell of the silicone implant floating freely within the silicone gel. The term first appeared in literature in 1992 when optimal imaging techniques and modalities for implant rupture were still unclear, and since then the term "linguine sign" has been widely used to describe evidence of intracapsular rupture.

To evaluate the value of a breast computed tomography (CT) (B-CT) in assessing breast density, pathologies and implant integrity in women with breast implants.This retrospective study was approved by the local ethics committee. B-CT images of 21 women with implants (silicone/saline; 20 bilateral, 1 unilateral) who underwent opportunistic screening or diagnostic bilateral B-CT were included.
