What is Ex Vivo Evaluation of Ferromagnetism, Heating, and Artifacts of Breast Tissue Expanders Exposed to a 1.5-T MR System about?

## Abstract Three breast tissue expanders were evaluated for compatibility with MR imaging (1.5 Tesla). The metallic components of the breast tissue expanders were shown to be nonferromagnetic, heating .2°C and the artifacts varied. These results indicate that MR procedures may be performed safely in patients with these implants; however, artifacts may obscure Implant leaks or breast lesions if located near and metal portion of the breast tissue expanders.
