MRI scanning is the imaging modality of choice for breast implant rupture surveillance or diagnosis. In the event of a suspected rupture of a Motiva® implant with Qid®, MRI should be the first imaging method of choice.
Qid® is a small, light device comprised of an integrated circuit and ferrite coil/antenna assembly. Due to the presence of the ferrite, an MRI of Motiva® Implants with Qid® may produce a shadow, known as an artifact, immediately behind the device. If a rupture is not found but is suspected in this specific area, a second imaging modality (such as ultrasound, tomosynthesis, digital compression mammography, subtraction contrast mammography, and/or scintimammography) may be used to better visualize the obstructed region.
