MRI scanning is the imaging modality of choice for breast implant rupture surveillance or diagnosis. In the event of a suspected rupture in Motiva® Implants with Qid®, MRI should be the first imaging of choice. Qid® is a small and light device comprising an integrated circuit and ferrite coil/antenna assembly. Due to the presence of the ferrite, an MRI of Motiva® Implants with Qid® may produce in some of the imaging a small shadow, also known as an artifact, immediately behind the device. If a rupture is not found but still suspected to be present in this specific area, a second imaging modality, such as CT or ultrasound, should be employed.
