So what I'm going to do while those are loading,
0:02
is I'm going to show you a fun case that I have
0:06
just on the PowerPoint series and that went with the implants.
0:11
This is a patient who is 80-odd woman.
0:17
She's status post left mastectomy, and she had a saline implant
0:21
put in and then has new deformity of her left breast site
0:26
as you can see here.
0:27
And so these are T2 fat suppressed images.
0:31
I'm just going to talk you through this.
0:32
And you can see that with a saline implant,
0:34
which you certainly do not need any imaging to diagnose.
0:37
Everything just collapses into a big hole.
0:39
So if you want to know what linguine sign is for silicon, it looks like this.
0:43
Only with silicon rather than the T2 bright.
0:46
As part of this study, she also was fat...
0:51
We gave gadolinium. I don't know why they gave gadolinium as an outside study.
0:53
They just didn't know what was going on with her,
0:55
and they wanted to sort of look at the implant, but look for recurrence.
1:00
They found an occult 1cm enhancing mass
1:05
on the gadolinium.
1:07
And here it is on the ultrasound.
1:10
And obviously, this is a sort of classical
1:12
malignancy with a spiculated borders hypoechoic shadowing,
1:17
and this echogenic halo.
1:18
And this was an invasive ductal carcinoma recurrence in this patient.
