1. To review normal breast implant anatomy, including both implant location as well as different types of implants commonly encountered.  2. To discuss abnormal presentations of implant devices on mammography and MRI including classic signs of intracapsular and extracapsular rupture. 3. To highlight the importance of detecting implant complications, including post-operative peri-implant fluid collections, infection, and implant associated tumors. 4. To present various imaging modalities for evaluation of breast implant rupture with emphasis on which modalities are optimal.     

1. Overview of normal breast implant anatomy. Prepectoral vs. Rectropectoral and their appearance on various imaging modalities. 2. Review types of breast implants and their normal imaging characteristics. Saline implant vs. Silicone implant and their appearance on various imaging modalities. 3. Discussion and examples of breast implant ruptures and their classic radiologic features. 4. Present examples of additional implant complications, including post-operative peri-implant fluid collections, infection, and implant associated tumors. 5. Provide examples of breast implant ruptures with Mammography/ MRI/Ultrasound while discussing the sensitivity/specificity of implant rupture detection for each modality.
