Silicone implant and fibrous capsule assessment based on water-fat-silicone chemical shift encoding-based species separation in breast MRI.

Intrinsically co-registered water-fat-silicone-separated CSE-based images enable a reliable assessment of silicone implants. The simultaneously improved differentiability of the implant and fibrous capsule may provide clinicians with a valuable tool for an accurate evaluation of implant integrity and early detection of potential complications.
